How a Polish citizen can buy property in Bulgaria

Demand for property in Bulgaria among Polish citizens is very active. The main reasons are the affordable prices of Bulgarian housing and the geographical proximity of the two countries. 

Everyone chooses for themselves the country and the city and decides whether it is worth buying property, finds out whether there are any special considerations when purchasing as a foreigner, and weighs up the advantages and disadvantages.

Almost 90% of Polish buyers prefer to purchase property in Bulgaria in the Burgas area, where the majority of the country's new developments are concentrated. Poles are among the most promising foreign buyers when it comes to purchasing property in Bulgaria. The Polish economy has been developing steadily for many years, and the country has a distinct middle class.

Bulgaria is perfectly suited for permanent living, for relocation, for obtaining a residence permit / permanent residence, and for citizenship. 

What kind of property is popular with Polish citizens

The priority for Polish citizens is the Black Sea coast – the majority of transactions involve holiday apartments, apartments for rental in resorts and small towns, as well as residential and private houses in Burgas. The average price for a seaside apartment is 25,000–60,000 euros, depending on the location, the complex, and the additional amenities. 

According to a number of experts, Polish clients are generally prepared to pay a higher price for housing in exchange for a better-quality product that includes additional services. Buyers also look for properties with added value which, in addition to a full-fledged holiday, offer the opportunity for a return on investment.

The most sought-after are two-room apartments of around 55–60 sq m, with a good view from the windows – either of the sea or of the courtyard – and it is also important to have a terrace.

Property in Bulgaria – features of the purchase for Polish citizens

The conditions for buying property in Bulgaria for a Polish citizen are the same as for local residents:

The procedure for purchasing property in Bulgaria for Polish citizens:

 - decide on the property, check the documents, pay a deposit, sign the preliminary contract, make payment, register the property, obtain a Bulstat, and change the electricity and water accounts.

Clearly define the purpose of the purchase and the acceptable budget. When acquiring property in Bulgaria, it is important that price and quality match. Then the property will always be liquid, and if necessary it can be sold quickly and profitably.

Photos and reviews are one thing; the perception and emotions you can gain on the spot, by coming to Bulgaria, are quite another. That is why it is better to buy and choose property during a visit, rather than remotely. But if there is no opportunity to come, the specialists of Bulgaria Avenue will become your “eyes” and will carry out an online viewing, send you video and photos of the property in every detail, and acquaint you with the reviews of those who have purchased property in Bulgaria in that particular area or specific complex.

A Polish citizen can choose from the Bulgarian market and buy property of any type: a townhouse, a house with a plot of land, a rural house, a villa, apartments, a studio in a complex, an apartment in a residential building, or a chalet in the mountains.

It is worth noting that Polish citizens can easily obtain a Bulgarian residence permit / permanent residence:

You need a residential address (owned or rented housing), medical insurance, and a declaration that you have sufficient funds to live on.
