Hi,
My girlfriend and i are planning to buy a house in Bulgaria (Yambol/Bourgas areas). We are currently living in Ankara and will be travelling back and forth during the renovation. Therefore, we were just wondering which areas would be best to look at. We're quite open but would ideally like somewhere close to the mountains and lakes and not too far from the sea and low crime (is it as bad as people believe???. But the mountains/lake more of a draw to us.
Also, we have heard of horror stories with regards to buying...and the contracts dont actually show you own the house etc...which is the best way to buy....anyone reccomend good reliable helpful companies....we were looking at the online companies such as; housesalesbulgaria.com, bestbgproperties.com, cheap-bulgarian-house.co.uk, bulgarianhouse.com and bulgarianproperties.com has anyone used these companies before? What would you recommend?
We're planning to do most of the work our(my!!)selves and have abit of a working holiday over xmas etc.
Many many thanks in advance.
