WHY BULGARIA

- Bulgaria is a small country but is considered to be the fastest developing tourist market in Europe and the real estate is the fastest growing fixed asset in the economy. Last year the property prices in Bulgaria have gone up with more than 25% in general. We see a strong case for Bulgarian property prices growth to outstrip property price rises elsewhere in Europe over the next few years and therefore there will be a strong investment dimension to your purchase.



- Only 2 ½ hours from the UK you will find yourself touching down at the crossing point of Europe and Asia. A further 2 ½ hours by car will find you catching the spirit of the Orient and the wonders of Istanbul. With Greece, Turkey and the Mediterranean coast only 200 miles from the capitol Sofia – Bulgaria is the crossroads to so many different cultures and we certainly can say that has a launch pad location, which is great to explore the rest of Europe, Russia and the Middle East from.



- This is a country which is not easy to imagine as a destination to move to, primarily because it is under visited. For many years, just a trickle of people came independently; the rest flew in to stay at the beaches and skiing resorts and were stopped from uncovering typical lifestyles. For the last 3-4 years however great number of foreigners from all over the world are interested in possessing a real estates in Bulgaria as a holiday home or some even move to the country.



- Thinking of an active holiday? Bulgaria has it all – swimming, skiing, climbing, hunting, fishing. Thinking of relaxing – ancient culture, endless beaches and an emerald sea, high mountains with marvellous gorges and caves, clear lakes and rivers full of fish, wide valleys and healing springs. Not last to mention hospitable people, tempting cuisine and wines, divers flora and fauna.



- Daylight hours is not such a luxury as it is in London or Edinburgh in winter – there are around a minimum of 250 sunny days a year. Bulgaria has four clear-cut seasons. Its summer is hot but rarely sweltering, in winter there is abundant snow and the spring and autumn are beautiful transitional periods. There are regional variations: north of the Balkans, is on the whole more continental; the South West and South East are marine or Mediterranean and have mild winters. There are never droughts, but rain falls usually in more intense bursts than it does in the British Isles.



- Inexpensive, but with a future. Most things are, if not dirt-cheap, then perfectly affordable in Bulgaria. Supermarket prices are perhaps between a third and a half of their British equivalents and compare very favourably with Greece and Turkey. Going out and entertaining are approximately 1/5 of their Western European equivalents. Taxis and public transport are (although roughly equally priced) 10 times less than their big city world equivalents.



- Sofia and large Bulgarian provincial towns are now on European music and performance tour circuits even if they are not Megapolises of culture. Increasingly, things that you can count for granted at home are popular in Bulgaria too. But this is not the point: it is an open, pluralistic society, perhaps as much or more so than countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy and it is a place where all kinds of enthusiasts, as elsewhere in Eastern Europe have thrived. It helps that the leisure infrastructure can offer a lot. Bulgaria has long pursued domestic and inbound tourism and the resulting hotels, restaurants and facilities are widespread.
