Where to look and whats a reasonable price?

There are loads of Property's for sale around Yambol and Elhovo also further down near the Turkish border (Sold by owner) i would not go thru an agent!!! Or Agency
It will only add costs to the buy.
Pm me and i will give you a couple of palace`s on internet to look for property direct from Owners

It depends on how keen you are to have ex-pat neighbours but if you prefer the south and like decent weather then I'd recommend the area around Ivaylovgrad. Prices are excellent for unrenovated property and the lifestyle is live the UK in the Fifties. Traffic density makes Central Bulgaria feel like Central London.

Pricing today is simple. When buying from ex-pats it depends entirely on how much they need the money. Realistic vendors who wish to cut their ties with Bulgaria recognise that his is a buyer's market. Beware dual pricing. The same property may be offered by more than one agent at more than one price, by the vendor on forums, Facebook and International Free sites and at yet another price.

It is possible to buy a six room house with 1 decare or more of land for €5000 which needs a total rebuild. There are larger properties north of Stara Planina which can have 150 msq of house with very extensive barns and 2 - 3 decare of land for €8000.

Sofia is a while different ball game and rices are much closer to Western Europe as is the area influenced by the Sofia market mainly south towards the Greek border.

Cities cost more than villages and the coast costs more than the countryside but just about everything is negotiable and discounts from asking prices can be as high as fifty percent.

I quite agree with previous posters.
Market in major cities such as Plovdiv, Varna and most certainly Sofia is vibrant and so are prices to match!
To a much lesser degree places like Bansko or Veliko Tarnovo. The further you get away from major hubs the cheaper it gets.
But please bear in mind that there is a general and gradual depopulation of minor villages, Often they only offer very basic store/shop facilities and not much else. And although that may sound idyllic and may not be so after you have been there a while. And in winter you may well get stuck for a while as there is not much done in the way of clearing.
I know the last few winter have been pretty minor but there is always the next big one.
One thing you may need to get used to is that almost all houses outside Sofia have septic tanks as there is no waste system to speak of.
Good luck.

Om det är mej du menar Patrick så skicka ett pm så ska du få min epost adress.
Tror inte man gillar svenskan på denna sidan.

It was and it is very nice of you to do it. I have been looking on advertises all over Bulgaria something confuses me, for example, 1 property is advertised through few estate agents and all have different prices. We are coming to Bulgaria I believe 1st of June and our intention is to buy and live there. How do you think?
Regards.

Hi all
Does anyone know how to find private vendors without involving agents? We are thinking to move to Bulgaria but, Before we move we need to rent a flat for at least 4 weeks to give us time to view the properties we like and matches our pocket. The perfect location/s are in Varna near Turkish border. Any help/ Advise highly appreciated.

Hi David
As its not a specific Product but pages with houses for sale direct by owners in Bulgaria it would not do much good to describe the Price/Product. That is why i ask any member's with questions about this to send me a PM

Christer

Hi ch85st,

May be there is a different way to share these information?

If you have useful hint about accommodation(Not advert), like prices related to these proposals please feel free to post on the Bulgaria forum, this might surely help other members.

If you have accommodation for sale, it might be be useful if posted in the Housing in Bulgaria section. Thank you!

Regards,

David.

Hi there, I'm between Yambol and Elhovo. We go to Greece every few months - 4 hours to the coast, great swimming. The same to Turkey. We all have our opinions, these are mine.

Never buy direct, I know of plenty who did and ended up with a mile of problems over ownership. Don't buy a derelict wreck, it can cost a fortune in money and heart-ache..and getting ripped-off. There are plenty of renovated to buy, some fully furnished.

Try Nick Penny at bulgariarealestateonline.com I bought from them 2 years ago and I cannot fault them for there continued service.

If I can help.


Cheers Es
