ACT 15 & 16 (you must have)
	Author : kevin (---.9-3.cable.virginmedia.com)  posts : 206 Date : 01-15-12 13:03 Hi ALL I am trying to find out our you get your complex ACT 15 & 16 I HAVE BEEN TOLD DONT PAY YOUR YEARLY MAINTANENCE CHARGES AS THE COMPLEX OWNERS ARE IN THE WRONG Act 15 is actually a protocol (minutes) signed by the investor, the builder, the architect and the private audit construction company. This protocol is to certify that the building is finished (not suitable for living though) and all the construction works are actually conformed to the approved architectural plan. However Act 15 doesn’t allow you to legally inhabit the premises. Act 15 is an act of formal delivery of the building by the builder to the investor. Developers usually try to sell premises at the stage of Act 15. You shouldn’t agree on that. But if you do, prepare to have trouble obtaining Act 16 (Habitation certificate” or “certificate for living suitability”) i.e. collecting all the necessary documents. Act 16 or”habitation certificate” is the formal certificate issued by the municipality audit commission. The latter checks if all the documents conform to the Bulgarian construction legislation as well as if the building is properly connected to the electricity, sewerage and water suppler. It checks if the premises are secure and suitable for living. You have to mind Act 16 when buying property in Bulgaria. Kevin SUNNYDAY 5

Withholding maintenance fees in fact only makes the complex not function properly and in the long run is not in the owners best interest and the complex will start to look run down. I am afraid that act 15 and 16 is a very complex thing and if you wish to go into depth regarding this then you are better to contact a solicitor, but witholding maintenace fees will make no difference.
