Here is a copy of the latest newsletter from http://www.PropertiesInBulgaria.com (http://www.propertiesinbulgaria.com/) you may like to take a look?



Most of you know only the names of the most popular ski resorts in Bulgaria but there are so many beautiful areas, which are still undiscovered - let me tell you with today’s newsletter about the village Kostenets and the two holiday areas around it. It is situated literally on the border of natural reserve park – "Pila", and recently it has gained back its old popularity as a nice place to go on a vacation and a wonderful place to live in. The Municipality authorities on their part have ambitious plans for making the village attractive tourist destination. Only in the coming year six new small hotels are going to be built, together with a balneotherapy sanatorium. Local people count on the mountain which surrounds the village, the good and important roads that pass through, the rapidly growing infrastructure and of course the new golf development which will be built in Dolna Banya, only some 10 km away. This will be one of the few golf playgrounds in Bulgaria. Be! side the zone plan of the village will be changed and new plots of land are entering in regulation, which will allow more construction in the region. Prices of properties are expected to rise significantly in the near future. Let me present you an offer of a property from this charming place as our "Property of the week" and you can see the pictures on our web site: BG – 51028

Solid house in mountain town near Spa, some 30 km distance to Borovets Ski Centre. Mains electricity, water. Possible telephone land-line connection. Mobile phone coverage. Good access by asphalt road. The house offers about 250 m2 living area and consists of:

Ground floor: Garage, Cellar with central heating system.

First floor: Corridor. Living-room. Kitchen. Dining-room. Two bedrooms. WC in bad condition.

Second floor: Corridor. Living-room. Kitchen. Dining-room. Two bedrooms – one of them unfinished. WC.

Outside: 560 m2 garden bordering two streets. Small outbuilding used as summer kitchen.

Other thing I wanted is to share with you is my personal emotion from the Christmas party of our company, which took place last week. Colleagues from Varna, Bourgas, Sofia, UK, and the new staff of Borovets office gathered to celebrate. It was a great party thanks to all these wonderful people, which some of you surely know. I can assure you now that EasyBG PIB Ltd. has a team of not only professionals but also people who are really friendly and know how to party. This is something "which nobody can deny …", sounds like: …." and I think you will feel it when you meet them. Until then keep smiling.

Kind regards

Hello Sandy,
My advice like a location in Bulgaria depends what do you prefer - the mountains or the sea side. If we are talking about seaside my opinion is that the best place to be is Varna. An apartment in the area will cost you 70 000 - 80000 euros for sometyhing around 80-90sq.m. Probably you know that Varna is situated near the summer resorts Golden sands, Albena, St st Constantine and Helena. So there are a lot of tourists in summer but if you prefer to be away from the cities and the noise my advice is to buy a house in one of the lots of villages near Varna for which you will pay approximately the same price. There is one little detail that if you buy land in Bulgaria you have to register a LTd company according the Bulgarian laws. It takes around 2 weeks and the price is 400 pounds.
if you prefer to go to the mountains I personnaly prefer to go to Rodopite somewhere near Smolyan, Chepelare and the winter resort PAmporovo. The area is very beautiful and in the winter you can go skiing, in the summer is also very nice: you can go walking which is very healthy because of the fresh air.I think that now is the right time to buy properties in Bulgaria because over the last third part of the year the values have risen by 12%, but at the same time the values remain lower than in the neighbouring countries and certainly lower than the traditional hotspots of Spain and Portugal.

for anyone investing in property in bulgaria i have found an association called the Association of Brittish Investors In Bulgaria and they can help you in all asspect of buying selling or just living in bulgaria their telephone number is 0870 751 2650 :D

The majority of people who are buying property in Bulgaria are looking for holiday/second homes often with a view to retirement in later years.
The town of Pomorie (about 14 500 inhabitants) is situated on a narrow rocky peninsula, jutting out 3,5 km in the Black Sea. In the resort of Pomorie, the shore is low, sandy, with a fully open horizon.
New developments may be purchased 'off plan' direct from the developer. For further details see:
bulgarian property for sale (http://sunhomesbg.com)

Hi Sandy

One of the main problems of investing in another country is finding an agent that has the knowledge and contacts to represent your best interests.

I would highly recommend www.therightmoveabroad.com as I have used them on a number of occasions for off-plan investments and holiday homes. They are specialists in Bulgaria and have received a number of good reports on other property forums.

Once you have a trusted agent, you are 50% the way there. I hear from a lot of people who are unsatisfied with fly-by-night agents who try to rip them off in more ways than one.

Regards

Clive

Hi Sandy, where are thinking of, sea resort, mountains or City? I have Lawyer friends in Burgas city, I can pass on their details if you are thinking of that area. They dont sell properties, just the Legal work, but they have contacts. The price for an apartment varies widely, you need to know what you want and where.

Dear Clive, I would be grateful if you or anyone else could give me any info on the Emerald Development on the black sea. I believe the right move abroad are the selling agents. Thank you in advance, Rory.

Hi Sandy, have a look at http://www.buybulgaria.info.
The Iglika developments in Golden Sands look very promising. In the middle of the resort and very near to the Beach. I spoke to the guy and he is planning an inspection trip soon.

Hi Sandy,

I read all the postings thet followed your request and I realized that there are many people /companies that are trying to sell appartmens in Bulgaria. You must be very careful when deciding where to buy and what kind of property you should buy.

As I`m working for several estate agenst on part time as a translator English-Bulgarian I have some access to information on properties. As I am a lawyer by education may be will be able to help - if not I can show you people that will!

If I can help you with any info in the Black sea region I will.

I agree with Stan, be very careful of anyone who is out there to sell you anything at all, even if they are working with several agents, claiming to be a lawyer or translator.... it is for sure they are making money out of you.

Do your research on the net and then do your research by phone (surprising how you get a gut feel from people if you actually talk to them) and take your time - do not be rushed, don't let anyone talk you into signing just cos they say that someone else will buy it... there is often better (and certainly more) round the corner.

If there is any way we can be of help and advise, then just email us and we'll do our very best to assist

All the best, Jain

I know the best place for you just take a look in our site :-) i`m sure that you will find everything you need :)

Hi there again - az I see many people are giving advices here but no one sais why is their property good for buying and/or investment.

Before you even look at a picture of a property you need to know some specifics - can you buy this one (with or without the land), what are the average price in this region, after that the location, what is the present conditions of the building (if any).

Take more info before you try to take a look.

Regards
Stan

Even before you get down to a particular property, there are many ins and outs of buying a property here in Bulgaria. The best thing you can do is take independent advice, take everything you read on the internet with a large pinch of salt, research and research again, visit the country.... in effect, check it all out.

Think about what you want and what you would need from a property in BG. We believe you will find so much choice and so many good investment possibilities your head will spin with it all. You can make great buys in Bulgaria but you can also make mistakes (like anywhere in the world), so talk to people who are independent of agents, solicitors, builders, constructors and such; be careful of expats who have 'been there and done it' as they only have their one experience to go on and cannot give you professional advice.

All in all, treat buying a property in BG as you would in the UK - caveat emptor

Dear Sandy,

It all depends on your preference –sea or a mountain. If you prefer sea, than you may consider Sunny Beach that is the most popular summer resort in Bulgaria. We have 2-bedroom apartments in this region. I could offer you a two-bedroom apartment for 52,615 EUR in a development that is going to be ready next May and is located 300 meters from the beach. We also have another project that will be ready in the beginning of 2007 and is just 200 meters from the beach. The price for two-bedroom apartment in this development is 65,790 EUR.
If you prefer the mountains, then you may consider Bansko that is the most famous ski resort in Bulgaria. The price for a two-bedroom apartment in a development that will be ready in November 2007 is 84,200 EUR.

For additional information, please check our website: www.abc-estet.co.uk or write to me at: e.valentinova@abc-estate.co.uk

With regards Valeria Kanakieva

In february of this year I like many others decided to buy within Bulgaria, after exhaustive research, Travelling, emailing and the like, I decided to buy around the Ruse area because of its very good investment potential, Since that time things have moved quickly, I now have an hotel, 50 seater restaurant, Campsite being developed etc.

Things were great at first, and then the rot set in. I won`t go into all the details, suffice to say I have now broke away from all Bulgarian agents, and at the hotel we now have our own offices set up and are working now as true English real estate agents within this area and lately moving into the Veliko turnovo region.

This is a beautiful country, and on the whole the people are warm and friendly, But I received so many stories of hiked prices for both houses and services that I decided this was the best way for me to go.

I now am culpable for everything, all people we have dealt with and helped have gone away happy and relaxed, They can see we are a strong business with the ability to offer full services. I will give you an example, we offer a property management service of only 75 GBP per year.

Having our minibus for airport pickups and cars means as said earlier we can monitor the entire process from start to finish.

I won`t ramble on, just wanted to let people know that at least in the areas we deal in there is now alternative company that will keep you informed at all times and through all stages of your property purchase.

If anyone would like more information, Please message me or email me on Steve@buying-properties-in-bulgaria.co.uk

Best Regards

Steve

Hi Sandy i have a friend who's selling a beautiful appertment in Nessebar and has all amenities. I think she's asking 45,000 euros for it.

Note!!!

Take look at the diiferent sides of Bulgaria. Then look at the prices of the properties. When you take your decision, ask for independent legal advise how to proceed ahead, where, investigate the plot and the place, etc. Get informed about legal documentation - not a grand issue to move to Bulgaria.

Hi Sandy,

Recently enquiring into property myself in bulgaria, i came across a website that may be of some use. I contacted bulgarianpropertiesyambol.com whom i gave a description of what i was looking for. They were very helpful by sending a number of pictures and prices throughout Bulgaria that would appeal to me. I am now currently living with my partner in an apartment in Yambol, and we are very happy.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Is there a website? Or any more information? Where do they operate from and what exactly do they do?

It would be wise to read not only the rosy web sites giving sunny pictures of Bulgaria but to google words like “pitfalls” and “risky” when looking for Bulgarian property.:(

Hi Sandy,

I see that you have had lots of advise on purchasing property so far. Most of it I would agree with too!

I am an English woman working for a property agent in Bourgas, along the Black Sea Coast. Hopefully you have seen our company on the rightmove abroad website, advertising properties and land all over Bulgaria.

I notice that Clive mentioned on a previous reply that there are good reviews of the rightmove website and would be more than happy to speak to you regarding this or speak about any other issues which you may have. We have many contacts with great English speaking skills who specalise in different fields, ie. lawyers specializing in purchases of village houses, apartments, land (both agricultural and regulated). We also have reliable construction contacts also, which if you listen, they seem hard to come across.

If you, or anyone else reading this reply would like to know more, please contact me via email and I will do my absolute best for you, however I can.

No one wants Bulgaria to have a bad press, especially when there are people doing their best for their clients on every level. Lets be honest, us English really do have to stick together..!

I hope to hear from you soon

Best regards,

hi everyone,


In regards to who asked about property in Bulgaria I don't know much about property but as i can see there are a lot of agents around trying to scoop business.

I know the company ive been dealing with (4front property) offer some property all over bulgaria thier web is - www.4frontpropertyinvestments.com

one of the coastal resorts looked pretty interesting as you put 10k down and the rest is mortgaged but the guaranteed rent covers it!!!

check it out it might be what your looking for www.moyholidayvillage.com

I quite liked the look of it. if any one knows any where else i am also interested!!!

Hello
My real estate agency is in the southeastern region, 100 kilometers from the seaside. We can offer you the apartment that you are looking for on a very good price that is 40000-45000 euro. If you are interested write to us on the following e-mail: bp_asya51@yahoo.com

This is just typical of the internet situation. A guy enters a forum to seek advice. The best advice he can get would be something like ‘beware of agents when buying in Bulgaria bacause they are not liable if you lose your investment’. However in the forum he’s surrounded by agents! Needless to say, he’ll hear everything, but the one thing he should. Please excuse my bluntness! My idea is not to be inflammatory, but to say something real as we are drowning in commercials here.

Does anyone want to buy an apartment in bulgaria near the beach??? see bulgarianpropertyfinders.com?They will ask you how much you want to spend and find you an apartment or house wherever you want in bulgaria! they are great....!!:cool:

I would say that as in each country there are good and bad people. I'm in the real estate business for 4 years now and i have seen a lot. A scams done by Russians, Englishmans and Bulgarians. If you research well before to start working with some of the agencies it will be safe for you... just do your job prior making any decisions.
