Bulgaria is a country, characterized by a soft climate and proximity of the sea, beautiful ski resorts and therapeutic sources. However, not only this makes the acquisition of real estate in this country attractive. The historical and cultural proximity of the Russian and Bulgarian peoples, similar languages and a benevolent attitude – all this, as possible, helps to buy an apartment or house in Bulgaria. In addition, Bulgaria is a member of the European Union, which is considered a reliable guarantee of the country’s stable development and entails the predictability of its legislation. Another advantage of acquiring real estate in Bulgaria is its comparative cheapness regarding the cost of housing in the territory of the entire European Union. At the same time, the costs are not its maintenance is also quite small (for example, the maintenance of an apartment with an area of about 70 meters can cost about 850 euros per year), and real estate tax is 0.15% of the notarial value of the object. In addition, by renting real estate for rent, you can get a fairly solid income. The choice of real estate in Bulgaria is very large. Depending on the desire, you can buy an apartment by the sea or a small house in the village, elite apartments in the resort complex in the mountains or commercial real estate in the capital. In Bulgaria, you can buy both secondary and under construction, and new buildings are the most promising investment. In addition, those who buy still unfinished real estate are provided with the installment plan for the entire construction period of the facility. Bulgarian real estate owners can purchase a multiple visa for a period of 1 to 3 years, as well as get a residence permit, having fulfilled certain conditions. Another situation is, however, with the acquisition of land plots. According to the legislation of Bulgaria, a foreigner does not have the right to buy land in this country. At the same time, this restriction applies only to foreigners – individuals, while a company registered in Bulgaria (registering a company in this country is not difficult) can easily purchase land plots. In addition, it should be noted that when buying a house or cottage in Bulgaria, it is not necessary to acquire land at all, since the owner of the house, according to the current legislation of the country, has the right to build any objects on the site belonging to his house. But land ownership does not yet mean the right to build. Buying real estate in Bulgaria has some features. In announcements for the sale of real estate, only one figure is always indicated here, which is the total area of the apartment and the territory “falling” on it (part of the entrance, elevator, etc. D.). From this figure, the actual area of the apartment will be only 70-80% (this, the so-called “perfect area”).In addition, when buying housing in one of the seaside cities, it must be borne in mind that in most apartments there are no hot water and central heating, and small apartments in such cities, as a rule, have no bathrooms. A typical apartment in the Bulgarian city by the sea is heated by electricity, has a boiler, and is also equipped with a joint bathroom, which includes a toilet and a shower. However, if we take into account that there is almost no winter on the seashore of Bulgaria, these disadvantages are significantly inferior to the pluses, which are available on the territory of modern residential complexes of the green zone, pool and well -maintained parking. In addition, the territory of such complexes is usually protected. In most cases, new buildings in Bulgaria are given “turnkey”, and sometimes even built -in corps furniture and household appliances (depending on the wishes of the buyer) can be included in the price. This feature allows you not to waste time searching and buying the necessary furniture, and also helps to save money, since developers offer furniture and equipment at prices below store. The procedure for searching and acquiring real estate in Bulgaria is as follows. The buyer selects suitable options and, having made a choice, signs a preliminary agreement, leaving a reserved deposit of up to 10% of the cost of the purchased object. The very procedure for drawing up a transaction for the purchase of real estate in Bulgaria is quite simple and takes no more than three business days. To conduct it, only a passport and the presence of the future owner or his proxy in the country are needed, and it is not required to obtain a special permit, as, for example, in Turkey. In addition to the cost of housing itself, the buyer will have to pay a tax of about 2% of the value of the purchased real estate, the tax collection of the object in the amount of 0.01%, and also pay for the services of a notary – about 400 euros.
