Real estate investment in Bulgaria
Bulgaria prohibits selling land to non-EU citizens. A land plot with a house can be bought for a legal entity if it’s a Bulgarian company.
The sale of flats in apartment buildings is not limited: you can freely buy, sell or rent them.
Statistics confirm the liquidity of investments: residential real estate prices grow by an average of 1,9% every quarter. Five years ago, an apartment of 100 m² cost an average of €96,000, and today it is sold for €138,000.
