There are only two notary offices in Pomorie, and it is indeed a problem for everyone, with any and all proceedings delayed by months. The problem is that by law the number of notaries in any town is defined upon the number of the local inhabitants. Pomorie, with relatively few residents, sees an enormous activity of selling and buying property, hence these two guys are flooded by requests for services.
The good news: the Minister responsible is suggesting a change in the law whereby the number of notaries will be derived based on the deeds closed in the last five years. Parliament is supposed to pass it rather quickly. I know this is a little consolation for most of you but at least by explaining the situation I hope you can get a bit of a relief in that possibly there is no scam and hopefully you will have your paperwork done and sealed properly, one day.
