UK Shipments by JimJ
If anyone is using the various UK-BG-UK shipping companies (GGBG/Gabiel etc), you might like to know that the tariffs instituted primarily against incoming Chinese goods are now impacting shipments from/to the UK. GGBG are ceasing shipments from the ...
@JimJ Have you tried making your own? I've been doing that since I arrived here & it's delicious 😋. Read More
A FB Post This Morning by JimJ
Just to remind all pet-lovers in the group to NEVER let your guard down. Yet again, in our supposedly upmarket and genteel suburb of Sofia, someone decided that one of my neighbours shouldn't have a pet and threw poisoned food into his garden..his ...
@JimJ What a truly despicable act, it's beyond disgusting & this type of behaviour has me raging 😡, how dare they do this! What a shame that the perpetrators weren't caught on somebody's surveillance camera. Read More
Having Electric meter moved by Jules999
HiHas anybody ever had their electric meter moved from within their garden area to a post outside their house? And if so what was the cost incurred please? It's really inconvenient having it within the property / garden area, not only if you own ...
@janemulberry There's a mix, some are outside, some are on the exterior of the house and our current neighbour has hers situated inside the house! Read More

Rental nightmares in Bulgaria by Cheryl
Hello everyone, Finding a place to live in Bulgaria can be exciting, but it doesn’t always go as planned. From misleading listings and apartments that look nothing like the photos to strange landlords, hidden rules, unexpected roommates, or ...
@SimCityAT Tell me about it🙈 we have some pretty awful ones in the UK at the moment, but I blame the last letting agents for that - instructed new agents who align more with our expectations & we are working "together" to reach a ... Read More

@JimJ Absolutely Jim! I would never rent a house out over here again...... Brainless & disrespectful tenants are a nightmare & can cause havoc in your property, racking up repair costs into hundreds if not thousands.... Read More
Selling a property via company by Jules999
Hi Does anybody know if you sell your property via company ownership as the director ( my husband ) can the funds received be deposited into any Bulgarian bank account nominated by him? Or will the notary insist that he has a business bank account ...
@janemulberry I'm glad you raised that question Jane as my husband and I were only discussing that this morning! Our resale is vastly different because the house is unrecognisable as it's former self. Read More

@JimJ Thanks Jim. Yes we're aware of the tax implications 🙄 and also we insisted on the price we paid being the declared price with the Notary ( obviously this is vastly different now anyhow ). We did think the tax on the property was 10% ... Read More

Capital gains tax when selling property by Jules999
Apologies if this subject has been covered in a previous post. We are hoping to sell our house which is company owned. One agent informed us that there would be no tax to pay because we have lived in the property for over 10 years, and the most ...
@JimJ Thanks again Jim, I'm sure it'll be a useful thread for others finding themselves in a similar situation in the future too. Read More

@JimJ Thanks Jim, I'll be very interested to hear how you progress. It is definitely a minefield & makes my head spin thinking about it! Read More
