Help anyone, tell me If I'm wrong, I'm 66 single, full UK state pension, in October I'm going to the Bulgarian embassy in London with my paperwork, proof of pension, bank statements to get my D Visa , and then driving to Bulgaria to buy my forever home, is that all possible , all comments appreciated, good or bad
@@DavidCali123 I think you're going to need somewhere to live first. Like a rental agreement or proof that you own a property. But someone who's done this more recently might be able to tell you otherwise.
@@DavidCali123 no, unfortunately the D visa needs to be applied for in the country where you hold citizenship. You can however come for 90 days without a visa.
WOW!!! Love this home!! LOVE the garden! Ive just started looking into bulgaria to live and houses for sale, can you possibly provide me with more info on moving/living in bulgaria? Or put me onto more info thats useful? Eg...monthly payments for utilities, any other costs apart from mortgage payments! Theres been so much negative talk about bulgaria for years eg the mafia owns most of there, but starting to wonder if thats all rubbish?! Maybe you could enlighten me? 🙏 all best for you n your families future ventures! Regards Breeda
@@breeda8573 Hey 😊 Thanks for the lovely comment. The house is now sold, but my phone number is in the video description, if you want to message me on WhatsApp, I'll happily leave you a voice message explaining things. In a nut shell, the mafia rumors are mostly rubbish, but it stems from a time 35 years ago just after communism collapsed and the country went into chaos for a while. It's certainly not like that now 😊🙏🏼
@alternativelivingbulgaria I'm not surprised it's sold 🙌👌 it's stunning, the gardens etc sold it for me!! OK great I'll look up your number and contact you with any queries I may have while doing my researching, that would be much appreciated thank you!! 😊 good to know about the history lesson I'll be sure to pass that on to anyone curious also lol 😆
@@Cal97g from experience that's approximately what it normally works out at. Though it depends on the valuation from the local municipality and how many people are involved, things like that.
Very nice property! South Bulgaria is generally better developed with climate more suitable for gardening (lots of summer sun). Nice garden, you made it like a майстор градинар written in bulgarian🎉 Greetings!
I have a French residency permit. Does anyone know if this will make it easier to obtain a five year permit for Bulgaria? Any help gratefully received. Thanks.
Hi nice house just I realised from your drone view , the solar panel farm , how huge is it and who owns it, and also is their plans to expand the area with these panels, kindly let me know, and thanks for the great walk through of your house 👍
Thank you 😊 there are lots of small farms like this all over Bulgaria now. There are a few different privately owned ones around the village, selling electricity back to the grid. I have not heard about any expansion or new developments in the village. It is nice to know most of the energy around here is green.
Brilliant house, I would keep it too if I could! Checks the box for areas I've been researching, except I can't be in the market practically for another year or two anyway, so I'll keep watching. I'm definitely attracted to being close to Greece and Turkey. Did you renovate yourself or hire a team? I also notice the solar farm at the end of the video, what or who is that for?... 🙂
@@allanhfchin thank you 🙏🏼 I did most of the renovations myself but did use help on a few things such as new plasterboard ceilings and electrics. We love being close enough to the borders to just go for lunch or to go shopping. There's are a few small solar farms like that near the village. All privately owned and sold back to the grid. It's nice to know most of the energy in the area is green.
Good luck for a swift sale 💕 I know you have your new project on the go now, but you all put so much love in to your family home that will again be exactly that for new owners soon. Dan xo ❤
@@jamessearle2339 we are now 😊We bought a farm on the coast. This property has been our most regular abode over the last 4 years. But unfortunately we can't afford to keep both.
@@bertpryor1158 potentially. If the down payment was a significant amount. Message me on WhatsApp (number in the description) and we can talk about it 😊👍🏼
Its a nice spot We use to play there as children :D There were vineyards somewhere nearby. Great views , for the summer it will be good to place the caravan under a shadow, because it gets extremely hot. Hopefully you will own it soon so you can start working on it.
To be honest i wish i could just leave my house and go gather mushrooms even if i cant eat them but im allergic to mushrooms and i mean every single kind i cant take a ton of medicine and cat even drink a lot of water (in public spaces) out of fear for mold
@outliersbulgaria & @ingevansand9180 yes, there are poisonous lookalikes to be aware of. The Agaricus family alone contains around 400 species. Also be aware of white Amanita species and don't pick if unopened. The gill colour is an important indicator ❤️
Hi! Wow, four years too late, but thanks for your channel and the video and what a lovely house! Nice reclamation of space they did! I've been scouting the Svilengrad area online because it's right next to Türkiye and Greece, hope to do an in-person scouting trip next year. What's the general availability like, have prices gone up much, are there many English-speaking expats, and how is the general area to live in? Thank you! 🙂
Hey Allan. We were selling this place on behalf of a good friend quite a few years back now. The sale actually fell through and we never relisted it. I spoke to him recently and he does want to sell it if you're interested.
@@alternativelivingbulgaria Appreciate the heads up very much, but I wouldn't be able to be in the market for at least another year or two because of family. However I'm catching up on your videos, and I'm learning a ton in the meantime. It looks like you're doing the area between Burgas and Svilengrad, which is totally what I'm researching, so you're likely to hear from me again! I hope your friend finds a buyer! 🙂
It's a lovely house.Sarafovo is part of Burgas,where exactly the airport is.Half of milion lev is pretty cheap though. Definitely over 250 000 Euro ,not just because of the actual house but also the plot which is large than usual.Anyway,have a lovely time
It doesn't matter,still beautiful house 😊.To be honest,never seen a house like this in Sarafovo but because someone mentioned Sarafovo I thought it was there.
Such a sad story and such a perfect example of biting off more than they could chew. I think the best thing to do with it is sell them for £100 like what they did in Italy and allow people to try and revitalise the area and project
