Getting a Bulgarian Passport - Naturalisation by VillageLife
I am not that far away from meeting the criteria...married (to Bulgarian citizen) + holding permanent for 3 years. I don't have to give up my existing citizenship because I am married to a Bulgarian citizen (allowed dual citizenship, as I understand ...
@Vasilev Thanks Vasilev. This is very useful. I was worried as I don't really have any documents as proof of living in Bulgaria (other than my permanent residence). No health care records, no bills, no tenancy, no taxes etc. I was worried that could ... Read More

Exactly what Jane says...if the site has the ability to filter when the ad was listed best to use that. Some have very old ads at "old" prices. Read More
Why are so many properties for sale in such poor condition ? by GuestPoster339876
I've got my eye seriously planted on a particular location right now, but I've been perusing around other places to see if I can find better deals, but... oof!Edit: I know Bulgaria is quite poor. That's not the answer to my question. I am talking ...
Alo (dot bg) or Imot (dot bg) are also worth looking at. Use your browser to live translate the page, Google does this well. These sites are not "aimed at foreigners" if you are really finding "oof" prices - but as others have said Bulgaria prices ... Read More
UK to Bulgaria - send belongings or no? by GuestPoster339876
I'm struggling with the logistics of sending my belongings from the UK to Bulgaria when I move.It'll be things like general household goods (1-2 pieces of flatpacked furniture, clothes, bedding, books etc - no big white goods like fridge etc) and a ...
Agree with Jane. As well as the Facebook groups (which I am not good with) you could go on Google maps and search Bulgaria shop/store near where you are in the UK. If there is one not too far then give them a call and ask if they do a lorry delivery ... Read More

Sharing Property Search Feedback by JimJ
We get lots of requests for advice about areas that people are considering but very little, if any, feedback on how those searches are going, what the searchers did/didn't like when they got there, what real condition the properties are in ...
@JimJ Yes, prices have risen for building by the looks of it. We have been quoted between 500 to 1k euro per square meter (higher price including full finish and also kitchen/bathrooms installed etc). Obviously varies depending on quality and what ... Read More

Just to add to the prices debate...we bought a wreck (rebuild job) with about 400 square meters of garden in the "ideal" centre of a smaller city....just under 5 years ago for 鈧�30k. We've done absolutely nothing with it since. Looking at ... Read More

I am really curious how the current price rises will impact those buying, who is buying, where they are buying etc. I presume back in the day there were quite a few buyers that really didn't do any research at all, because the prices were so ... Read More
