I hear u can get a real bargain in...

I can think of no worse reason for buying a property in a foreign land than simply because it is cheap.

I hear you can get a real bargain in some of the dodgier areas of downtown Mogadishu at the moment,but I won't be rushing to contact any of the local estate agents there.
In my opinion, to buy something in Bulgaria is only good if you like the country and its culture.
The only good reason to buy property in there is because you would like to spend more and more time there as the ...

The only good reason to buy property in there is because you would like to spend more and more time there as the years pass.
And the desire is more than probably because you like the people and their way of life.and in general liking the way the things are done in Bulgaria.
And that should be the prime consideration.

Some Brits like the idea of owning something abroad .Years ago they bought into Spain and Portugal for their own very good reasons and most of them because the cost of living was so relatively cheap there.

Sadly many found that there was more to living in a foreigh land than the cheap booze,food , cheap fake clothes and cigs.

So my advise is go there, stay there ,dont listen to anybody advise-it will be biased anyway, smell the place look under the surface, try to understand how things are done in there and if you fall in love with the place, do it.

what do you think?
Very Happy

Wow Mikey - you surprise us at times. After every visit I found it so hard to leave that I have now moved to BG and am watching my house being built.

The only reason I am here is because I fell in love with the village and the Rhodope Mountains and not because of the economy or anything else.

Have you been to Portugal Mikey? I have a house there and I can assure you there is nothing cheap about it, property prices are not much cheaper than the UK. The cheap booze, food, fags and British lager louts are the very reason I sold up in Spain and moved to Portugal, Don't tar everone with the same brush. I bought abroad for the same reason as most Brits with homes abroad did, to get away from the foul British weather, and as Portugal and Spain are easy to get to from the UK that is the ...

re: I hear u can get a real bargain in...

yes also agree,
I once read a thread which went like this:-
I'm so excited,I'm of to bulgaria for the first time next week to stay in my apartment that has just been finished.
...crazy.. this mentality has played into the hands of greedy developers and estate agents and left us with a glut of apartments.
