Bulgarian property sales have been scaled down to a few for sale by friends (and me) and am now concentrating on general advice and house exchanges - be it within Bulgaria, back to UK or a different country</font></b>.<font face="Arial"> <b>So if you are wanting to swap your UK semi for a house in the sun in Bulgaria, France, Spain, America etc then take a look at the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.permanentpropertyexchange.com">Property Exchange Service</a>. Or if you are an expat wanting to move back to the UK, then take a look to see if you could swap your house abroad for something back in the UK and get back on the property ladder there. Lots of options to those willing to think 'outside the box' a little. </b></font></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Arial">I am also now offering '<a target="_top" href="http://www.thetravelbug.org/workingholidays.html">working holidays</a>' for those that want to experience rural Bulgaria without the expense of accommodation and food. Details can be found by clicking the link on the left but essentially, if you are willing to work for a few hours each day (mainly gardening, small DIY jobs, landscaping etc), then I am happy to put you up for free and feed you. You are welcome to come for 2 or 3 days to a couple of weeks or maybe longer. But you must be fit and active and willing to work 4 or 5 hours a day in pretty hot conditions. However, you'll be rewarded with BBQs, afternoons by the outdoor mineral pool, or maybe a little fishing, sightseeing trips, walking in the mountains and more. </font></b></p> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" width="76%" id="AutoNumber1"> <tr> <td width="100%" bordercolor="#FFFFFF"> <p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="2">[I update these pages regularly but to see new items added to the site and any new information, please visit the <a target="_blank" href="http://thetravelbug.proboards84.com">Forum</a> for quick reference.]</font></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <p align="center"><font face="Arial"><b>So briefly about me (<a target="_top" href="http://www.thetravelbug.org/about.html">more here</a> but grab a beer or glass of wine first :)) </b>-<b> </b>Like many people my search for property in Bulgaria began on the internet. It was 2004 and I was looking to invest in Bulgarian property somewhere near a ski resort. I ended up putting a deposit down on an apartment in Bansko (despite never having been there). However the ink was barely dry on the contract when that all went pear shaped and there began a long battle with the developer and agency which resulted in me eventually pulling out of the purchase and taking the agency to court in the UK for misrepresentation. More on this on the '<a target="_top" href="http://www.thetravelbug.org/about.html">About Me' </a>page and also in full detail in my eBook - <a target="_top" href="http://www.thetravelbug.org/nightmare.html">'My Bulgarian Nightmare'</a>. </font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial">But from the first trip over I loved Bulgaria - the way the goats and cows still wandered down the streets making their way home each evening, the curious locals willing to put on a full table spread at the drop of a hat for you, the fact that there was mountains and skiing, lakes and forests, beaches and everything in between in one country. I made several trips over to Bulgaria travelling around and viewing property. I viewed Bulgarian property for sale with a number of different Bulgarian real estate agents - some good, some bad and some indifferent. I made my first purchase of a cheap Bulgarian house in summer 2005 - a small rural house with a good sized plot and situated around 20 minutes north of Stara Zagora. This developed into a side line and then a full time business - sourcing and selling Bulgarian property to other British. And I bought several more Bulgarian properties. Early 2006 I decided to move over to Bulgaria and started the process of building a new house. But of course nothing in life is ever simple and straight forward and certainly not in Bulgaria and when I arrived here at the end of October the new house was little more than a shell with no roof and many months off completion, despite the deadline in the contract being end of December and being promised the house would be finished end of October, middle of November. Luckily one of my other Bulgarian properties had been partly renovated and had a finished shower room and new windows so until I could get the work completed and the place decorated and buy some furniture, I camped out on a sofa bed with a kettle and electric grill!</font></p> <p align="center" dir="ltr"><font face="Arial">And that was just the start of my problems with builders, the farce of the legal  and court system, and generally dealing with 'Bulgaria'.  My difficulties with building my new house are detailed <a target="_top" href="http://www.thetravelbug.org/yulievo1.html">here</a> to warn others what can and often does happen (with full details of the court case and company <a target="_top" href="http://www.thetravelbug.org/dreamhome.html">here</a>). <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Times New Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"> I have experienced Bulgaria first hand - the frustrations, the struggles, the ups, the downs...I have catalogued the last 2 years of renovations, court cases and other struggles here to hopefully help others looking at buying in Bulgaria. </span></font></p> <p align="center" dir="ltr"><font face="Arial">Now, after nearly 3 years in Bulgaria and around 5 years helping others buy property in Bulgaria and renovate houses in Bulgaria, and especially given current economic climate, I have decided to overhaul the site so that instead of concentrating mainly on Bulgarian property sales, it will be more of a place to get advice on Bulgaria and property investment in Bulgaria and a place to locate suitable permanent house exchanges. Many people have invested in several properties in Bulgaria, often all in the same area and would now like to swap say an apartment on the coast for one in a ski resort, or maybe they are looking to leave Bulgaria and willing to negotiate a swap for an older cheaper property in France or Spain say, or swap their Bulgarian property plus make up value in cash for place back in the UK, while others in the UK are desperate to leave but with the weak pound, low interest rates, the property market being so slow and other factors, they do not have the opportunity to buy abroad so maybe a house exchange might work for them.
