Latest Update - 27th May 2010

The latest news, as reported by Dave Moore from Balkan Legal & Finance.

We have been informed that the following developments in Bansko have suffered damage;

• Guiness Hotel
• Royal Bansko Towers

It is also clear that there has been damage to other hotels and holiday complexes in the area, so if you feel there is any chance your apartment will have been affected, you should contact your management immediately to ascertain if any damage has been suffered to your property.

If you find out your property has suffered damage and have taken insurance out through Balkan legal & Finance ltd., we can assist with liaising with the insurer for your claim, but we can only do this once you have established that your property has suffered damage.
