I think it depends very much on the standard of living one hopes to enjoy in Bulgaria. Living as many Bulgarians do, particularly in the rural areas saves a lot, as much food is grown, chickens kept for eggs and maybe even the cooking pot I ... Read More

I have been here for the last ten days, starting in Sofia, travelling to Vratza and then Plovdiv and finally to Borovets. A friend in Vratza advised they were expecting some refugees to arrive and it seemed a little unclear where they would be ... Read More

My quote was 2380 lev for a complete rewire of a fairly large house, not to include sockets, light switches etc. About 75 % of the work has been done and to a good standard, however due to rising costs I have now been asked for a further 3000 lev ... Read More

I dealt with them a few years ago. The owner actually lives here in the Uk although appears to be Bulgarian. I viewed a few houses and all seemed legitimate. It may have changed hands by now of course but they were always prompt in their response ... Read More

I certainly did not expect a palace or even a habitable house for the tiny amount I paid. I am also aware, having already been through a renovation project in England that everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much as expected and ... Read More

Utility bills are cheaper as Gwynj describes (although mine are a fair bit higher than his) Some things are not that much cheaper, eg cost of running a car and many groceries if you shop in places like Lidl which seems to have a large presence in ... Read More

There is a huge amount of truth in what Gwynj has just posted. I spent 5 YEARS looking for the "perfect" house. Visiting Bulgaria several times a year and spending days travelling Bulgaria to view houses and none were ever ... Read More

Several empty houses in my village, near Krivadol. Most have reasonable plots of land. However be aware many villages including mine are depopulated, and although there was still a village shop and cafe when I was last there, 2 years ago, they may ... Read More

Congratulations on your fur babies Jane,how lovely! Be aware pet passports are no longer of any use I understand. Now need an animal health certificate, with added costs (sigh) I have seven cats and have also discovered I can take a maximum of five ... Read More

There is a LOT to think about before making the move! I bought an apartment in BG as long ago as 2014, and then a house and land end of 2019. Now the time has finally come where BG has opened up again, I have sort of "gone off the boil" ... Read More

You cannot enter from the UK directly unless you fulfil an exemption. Sadly owning a property does not qualify, I am in the same position. The advice from the Embassy was to stay in another country for ten days. Clearly, others are gaining entry ... Read More

Hello Svetlana. The Bulgarian dream is a very tempting one, and having trodden the path you propose, at least in part, as I have not as yet moved to Bulgaria and possibly never will, I would suggest the first thing to do is travel to the country ... Read More

It is a minefield, and having had communication with an immigration lawyer, she wanted a large up front payment to provide the list of documents needed, which the embassy were happy to provide for free! It is also worth noting , at least from what ... Read More

I was told by the Embassy I would need to have my pension paid into a Bulgarian bank account to prove the ongoing ability to support myself which makes sense. I am not state retirement age, but do receive a reasonable private pension. However, I ... Read More

Yes its ridiculous, I now cant get to go out and check on my house and my car. Double vacinated and Covid free but cant enter the country!!!!Same situation. Car been stuck there since Jan 2020, house I have not seen except in photos for the same ... Read More

I think you will struggle with no language skills at all. However you will pick some up in day to day living, but in my experience, it will be no good at all to hope people outside the real tourist areas speak English. A few examples: Getting ... Read More

Hi,the ski flat was a newbuild, I also have a partly renovated house near Vratsa. Regarding things to consider when buying, the first is of course your budget. I spent 40k Euro on a one bed flat and then spent about another 10k Euro on adaptations ... Read More

Hi, Im Scarly, currently live in England, bought a ski place in Borovets back in 2014. Decided Bulgaria might be a nice retirement option for a few years with more on offer than Spain etc, so bought a derelict house with a lot of land back in Dec ... Read More

I am very surprised you have found it simple. I have found the process to be so long winded and difficult I have, for the time being and possibly for ever, given up, despite owning two properties in Bulgaria since pre Brexit. I have been dealing ... Read More
