Hi Mantis,

I am unfortunately one of the owners of Florimont VIP and currently trying to persue the Florimont directors for the renumeration owed to me for my rental guarantee. I suppose you have heard from Milena from Florimont asking owners if they want to swap apartments to another complex as they now trying to build offices within florimont? I have lots of other things to add to this discusion and I am very keen to hear from you. Can you please provide me with your email address and I can get in contact with you straight away.

I have just registered with this site and I dont know how to contact you in private.

Regards,
BT21

You can e-mail each other by clicking on the little envelope beneath the username. Alternatively I can create a private section for you to discuss things in - that way if any other owners come forward they will be able to be brought up to speed quickly by reading through the thread once they have access.

Hi, I am also an owner here, and am having same problems. I was reading this forum as well. http://talkbansko.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=8320

I was talking to Phil G. He knows a few other owners. We need to try and find as many as we can and asap I did receive a call a few months back from Kaloyan trying to sell me an apartment in a different complex alright.

Keep trying to find more people and well make a move then.

Hi there, we found this site after making a posting on a thread in Bulgaria ski website. (repeated below)

We are exactly in the same position as you guys.

We will join in any group effort to try and get something sorted!

REPEATED FROM BULGARIA SKI FORUM:
Hello there, I have just found this discussion forum. We bought a studio in Florimont which was completed in autumn 2008. We started negotiations for rental contract but it was like talking to a brick wall, and even our solicitor was exasperated. In the end we decided not to rent it out at all while we decided what to do.

We stayed there for a week in February 2009 and had a great time - the skiing was great and it wasnt that busy. The hotel was warm and comfortable and Kaloyan was always around to shake our hand but not to answer any questions.

We did think about looking for a local keyholder who could handle private rental for us but there are no locks - it is all key cards like a hotel - it is clear that the company will make it almost impossible for you to change locks and put a proper mortice lock on.

When we checked out they tried to charge us a fortune for services! I said to contact my solicitor.

Last summer we opened negotiations again for rental contract and finally signed and commenced in September 2009.

Since then we have heard nothing despite requests for occupancy details. Neither Kaloyan or Sibylia reply to any email except to ask us for services charges of 600 euro for linen and cleaning for 2009 - even though we had no rental contract - I have queried this but heard nothing.

So, we have a rental contract but no idea what is going on. We are also sure that during 2009 the apartment was rented without our permission.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the general experience with "luxury apartments" and in hindsight buying a good old fashioned apartment in a block would have been better.

We are thinking of selling but of course the market is not great and the first thing any potential buyer would want to know is the income yield - which the company do not want to reveal.

Brussels may have accepted Bulgaria into the EU but it has no idea of what is really going on - a lot of people have been screwed. However, we do have legal papers to say we are the owners - not sure if they are worth anything but at least we are not in the position of buyers of the All Seasons Holiday Complex where apartments have been double sold (as far as we know!)

Bansko is lovely and most of the people we met are very friendly but some business practices leave a lot to be desired!
