Introduction

The vast majority of property in Bulgaria being sold to other European investors is being used in the lucrative ‘buy-to-let’ market. The three west European countries investing most money in Bulgaria at present are: Austria, the UK and Holland; and with the Bulgarian property prices being so attractive a large portion of those investments are in Bulgarian properties. To date only a few people are buying into Bulgaria property and thinking in terms of making their purchase a permanent residence. With so many locations in Bulgaria with property available for sale, a far more common approach is to buy a property in Bulgaria with an eye to a long-term investment via the ‘buy-to-let’ market.
