The most common mistakes are: not thoroughly checking the legal status of the property, missing out on additional costs and not knowing enough about local regulations on buying and renting. We can help you avoid problems by organizing a safe and legally sound transaction. We work directly only with trusted developers and thoroughly check all properties on the secondary market.

Apartments are analogs of the apartments we are familiar with, differing from the latter in the numbering of rooms. While in the post-Soviet countries apartments count the number of rooms, Bulgarian apartments count the number of bedrooms. For example, a one-bedroom apartment in our understanding is a two or three-room apartment (one bedroom plus a living room or a children's room).

As a property owner in Bulgaria you can apply for a long-term Bulgarian multi-visa (for 1, 2 or 5 years). Buying an apartment in Bulgaria does not entitle you to reside in the country continuously. The period of your stay in Bulgaria is limited to three months in one half-year, not more than six months in a year.

For a longer stay you need to obtain a residence permit (Permit to Stay). A residence permit is granted for one year, renewable every year, and gives you the right to reside in Bulgaria without leaving for the whole period of validity of the residence permit card.

In Bulgaria there is an easier option of obtaining a residence permit only for pensioners. If you are not yet retired, then obtaining a Bulgarian temporary residence card will be more complicated, but also possible. For this purpose, you need to have an active company outside Bulgaria, and the company must have been operating for at least two years and have movements on the bank account. You can open a representative office of this company in Bulgaria and, as a representative, obtain a residence permit on this basis. Or you can join a representative office already operating on the territory of Bulgaria.

Чтобы избежать недоразумения, когда решите выбирать себе недвижимость в Болгарии, нужно знать некоторые различия, которые отличают считание жилой площади в Болгарии от стран СНГ. Когда просматриваете ценовые листы одного болгарского объекта, в табличках вы увидите, рядом с колонкой общей площади, колонку с названием”общие части”. В Болгарии, общая площадь составлена из двух компонентов – чистая жилая площадь и общие части.
The net area is calculated by collecting the entire area enclosed by the outer perimeter of the apartment, which includes: internal walls, utility rooms and balconies. If the apartment borders with other apartments, the thickness of the intermediate wall is divided equally between you and your neighbors. The „common parts” component of the whole building includes: facade walls, stairwells and stairways, entrances, elevator shafts and corridors. These common areas represent, according to Bulgarian standards, from 12 to 25%. To get the total area of your apartment, the builder adds the common parts to its net area.
