paying monthly properties!! by stoney2016

Hi. Thanks to those who advised on my last question. I saw on ebay and several websites a guy who sells Bulgarian properties valued around 10,000 up to 16,000 and all you pay is 500 a month until it is paid for. I am of the thought that if it ...

Hi. I didn't say that it was. The EHIC is of course from the UK and the National Revenue Agency is the alternative insurance document from Bulgaria. You would use whichever is appropriate to your circumstances. The cost was 13 BGN per ... Read More

Ripped Off by Johnstuart

Hi All The way I see it is, if you were thinking of buying a property in Bulgaria, then it would seem best to first fly out and see the agents advertising the chosen property and be taken to the property for a viewing. Should you then decide to ...
