Packed with useful background information on the economy and property market, the 140-page guide also contains expert advice and practical tips on the country’s property laws, buying process and an overview of the various types of property available in Bulgaria. There is advice from a Bulgarian property lawyer and suggestions to help you find a reliable Bulgarian developer or estate agent - and the services you should expect from them.
