See beyond
the asking price.

From modest village houses to renovation projects and extensive gardens, the useful questions begin well before a viewing.

Before you fall in love with a house.

An attractive price can conceal legal, construction or access issues. Start by understanding the questions.

How our property area works

Information first. Advertising separately.

We publish independent explanatory articles and, if the necessary checks are completed, may later host advertisements supplied directly by Bulgarian estate agents.

Every future property advertisement will identify the independent advertiser and link directly to their own contact channels. We won't arrange viewings, negotiate purchases, receive buyer enquiries to forward, take sale commissions or handle property money.

No property advertisements are currently published.

Understanding the full picture

A cheap house can still be a major commitment.

We deliberately avoid invented headline repair costs without dimensions, condition and contractor or merchant evidence.

01

Land and title

Confirm registered ownership, plot boundaries, land designation and any encumbrances through an independent lawyer.

02

Structure and water

Investigate roof condition, damp, foundations, drainage and previous repairs before budgeting finishes.

03

Services and access

Verify connection and condition of electricity, water, wastewater arrangements, road access and internet at the address.

04

Buying expenses

Allow separately for legal advice, notary, registration, potential agency charges, surveys, travel and taxes.
