Citizens of Kazakhstan, like citizens of any other country, can purchase property in Bulgaria. Recently, there has been strong demand from Kazakhstanis for Bulgarian flats and houses. The reasons for this interest are stability, the high standard of living in a European country, an excellent climate and low prices.
Advantages of purchasing property in Bulgaria as a citizen of Kazakhstan
More and more charter flights connect the cities of Kazakhstan with Bulgarian resorts. Burgas and Varna are favourite seaside destinations for residents of Almaty, Nur-Sultan and Karaganda.
The ability to visit Bulgaria at any time, together with excellent living conditions, have become the main factors behind the growing interest in buying Bulgarian property. Purchasing a flat allows you to come on holiday at any time or to settle here permanently. For many residents of Kazakh cities, tired of the frantic pace of life, poor ecology and instability, Bulgaria has become an ideal place to live.
Among the seaside countries, Bulgaria is chosen for the following reasons:
- The opportunity to obtain a residence permit, initially long-term (residence permit), and after 5 years of residence – permanent (permanent residence).
- Low property prices combined with high build quality. A two-room flat in Ravda, Obzor or Sunny Beach can be bought for 25,000 euros, and a studio for 12,000–15,000 euros. Prices in Varna and Burgas are higher, but still more affordable than similar options in Greece or Spain.
- Inexpensive food and services. Excellent quality fruit, vegetables and groceries at low prices are one of the reasons why many residents of Kazakh cities are eager to move to Bulgaria.
- The freedom to open and develop a business. This could be a travel agency, a real estate firm, a car service centre or a beauty salon.
- The opportunity to give your children a secondary and higher education of European standard. Schools are free. University tuition fees for citizens with permanent residence rights are the same as for Bulgarians.
- Clean air, a large number of wellness centres, therapeutic muds and mineral waters. All this makes it possible to improve your health, which is especially important for those who have come from industrial areas.
Property in Bulgaria is bought by citizens of Kazakhstan who have retired, by families with young children or with children finishing school, and by single people. Many are attracted by the peace and quiet, the wonderful opportunities for a full and healthy life, business development and access to education.
Where to buy property
The choice of property in Bulgaria is extensive. Citizens of Kazakhstan are interested in apartments in the resort towns of Pomorie, Nessebar, Sveti Vlas, Obzor and Byala. Here you can buy studios, one-, two- and three-room flats. Such housing is suitable for holidays as well as for permanent residence for pensioners and families with children. Shops, restaurants and service providers operate all year round. There are kindergartens, schools, cultural centres and sports facilities.
In the resort complexes of Saint Constantine and Helena, Sunny Beach, Albena and Golden Sands housing is bought mainly for summer holidays. However, there are also options here that are suitable for permanent residence.
For those who prefer an active urban lifestyle, Burgas and Varna are the right choice. A wide range of commercial enterprises, banks, restaurants and educational institutions provide excellent opportunities for work and study. You can buy flats of any size, houses and townhouses.
For those tired of the urban bustle, private housing in villages and small settlements will be a good fit. These include Kamenar and Aleksandrovo in the Burgas region, and Piseltsi and Oreshak in the Varna region. Houses and cottages here are an excellent alternative to city flats.
Which property to buy in Bulgaria
The first step in choosing the perfect home is setting a budget. This is not only the amount the future owner plans to spend on the purchase of property. It is also important to consider how much its upkeep will cost. Apartments and villas in complexes with swimming pools and gated grounds are subject to an annual maintenance fee, which sometimes becomes an unbearable burden for pensioners. Such properties are bought by investors from Kazakhstan for subsequent rental, and by people choosing housing for summer holidays.
For permanent residence, flats in ordinary urban buildings are more commonly chosen. These can be studios with a single room combining a living area, kitchen and sleeping space. They are preferred by single people. Families buy flats with several bedrooms.
Village cottages and townhouses in outlying urban districts are an excellent option for those who prefer a measured way of life, relaxing in their own garden and having no neighbours.
The price per square metre depends on the floor, the location, and whether the property is renovated and furnished. The most economical options are offered on the ground and top floors in outlying districts without renovation. A square metre can cost from 400 euros. At the same time, the quality and advantages of such housing are often underestimated.
The price of apartments by the sea, in the centre of Varna or Burgas with a luxurious view and designer furniture, exceeds 1,000–1,200 euros per sq m. Such properties are always in demand. They rent out very well and are valued on the secondary market.
A wide choice of property in Bulgaria, reasonable prices and a high quality of life are the main factors that allow citizens of Kazakhstan to find suitable housing.
