A
former Soviet bloc state, for many years Bulgaria
suffered from chronic under-investment and a very poor infrastructure.
That
has all changed in recent years - Bulgaria's admission to NATO
in 2004 and to the EU in 2007 have served to kick-start the
country's economy and consequently its property market too.
Property investors and holiday home owners
from all over Europe are discovering that Bulgaria has a lot
to offer - from low property prices through to spectacular beaches
and ski resorts.
Buying a property in Bulgaria is much easier than it once was
and restrictions on foreign ownership of land are gradually
being lifted now that the country has joined the EU.
It's
also getting easier and easier to get a mortgage in
Bulgaria - although funding a property from the UK
can still be a better option.
