Property for sale in all regions of Bulgaria
Property for
sale in Bulgaria News
03 March 2006
The Bulgarian property market receiving more
good press this week.
Writing for the Telegraph, Nicola Venning also pointed out that property
investors can find surprisingly good deals in Spain, where Europe's most
southerly ski resort can be found in the Sierra Nevada.
The idea of buying a ski property
in Spain may seem incongruous and many investors will understandably
stick to more recognised property investment locations including the Costa
del Sol and Murcia.
Nonetheless, there has been a distinct shift of emphasis in recent years
that has seen more people looking for niche properties in line with popular
demand. While Spanish coastal resorts remain popular and UK residents have
certainly not abandoned more orthodox projects in France, it is clear there
is also a growing market for the slightly less predictable option.
It is this impulse that has seen the Bulgarian
property market emerge as a real favourite in the last couple of years,
aided by the increasing number of direct flights available.
The Sofia News Agency has today reported that Bulgaria
Air will soon start servicing flights between Sofia and Dublin, while
another new route between the Black Sea airports and Dublin will also be
established this summer.
With flights from London to Bourgas
and Milan to Varna,
Bulgaria is starting to benefit from much improved access and it is an issue
that should not be underestimated in terms of attracting potential investors.
In her article in the Telegraph, Ms Venning highlighted Bansko
as an ideal resort for investment, after £165 million was recently
pumped into improving the 65 kilometres of pistes.
Admitting that it is difficult to beat Bulgaria when looking for a ski home
bargain, she indicated that much of the development in Bansko will be completed
within the next few years, as investors look for both holiday homes and
opportunities to make considerable gains from their outlays.
Ms Venning adds that Bulgaria has an edge over rival ski countries in that
a Bulgaria ski property
can be acquired for the price of a car. It is a statistic that is appealing
enough in itself, but with EU accession to come and a strong bid for the
Winter Olympics
in 2014 in motion, these prices are unlikely to remain low for long.
Ski properties are always
popular in the buy-to-let sector as well, prompting many investors to purchase
a property without any intention to ever live in it. While French property
and equivalents in Switzerland or Italy will inevitably attract many looking
to appeal to the ski holiday market, Bulgaria has certainly managed to establish
itself as a strong alternative.

Sports fanatics taking a serious look at Bulgaria
While many of a sporting inclination have previously looked to France for
its ski resorts and Spain for its world-class golf courses, Bulgaria is
emerging as a genuine competitor by offering high quality opportunities
in both fields.
Investment International has said that properties can now be purchased by
the Pirin Golf and Country Club and the Lighthouse Golf Resort and Spa,
providing enviable views down the fairways of courses designed by Ryder
Cup captain Ian Woosnam.
While competition for these plots is likely to be extremely high, investors
can instead choose to get their hands on property in the surrounding Black
Sea region, where property prices are rising at a significant rate.
According to Investment International, annual increases of 30 per cent are
not unfeasible in the next couple of years, meaning that investors can enjoy
the stunning scenery and facilities for themselves for a while before making
notable profits when they decide to sell.
Incredibly, the Pirin Golf and Country Club is also just three kilometres
from the gondola in the ski resort of Bansko,
making the area an absolute haven for lovers of both sports.
Bansko has been attracting a huge amount of interest from UK investors in
recent months, as hotels and houses spring up near one of Europe's most
distinguished ski resorts. As publicity surrounding Bulgaria's bid for the
2014 Winter Olympics grows, Bansko and Borovets
are drawing a record number of skiers and this is corresponding with high
interest in property investment in the same areas.
There are also off-plan opportunities in both the coastal regions and in
the mountains, for investors with an eye for a bargain ahead of Bulgaria's
prospective EU accession. Once this is granted, property prices are set
to soar, making off-plan investments particularly lucrative.
According to SeeEurope.net, the World Bank has this week released a Country
Economic Memorandum (CEM) on Bulgaria's integration with the EU and the
world markets, titled "The Road to Successful EU Integration"
While few would dispute that this will be a long and most probably winding
road, it appears that the foundations for growth are now firmly in place,
with unemployment in decline and overall economic growth matching that of
eight New Member States.
The CEM also points to an improvement in investor confidence, both domestically
and externally, in recent years.
These are all features that are central to Bulgaria's emergence as an attractive
option for property investment and experts are indicating that the stage
is now set for a property boom in the years to come.
Commercial property investment in Bulgaria
May have seemed an unlikely prospect just ten years ago, but the rapid development
of the country's economic foundations has led to a booming business centre
in the capital city.
Vacancy rates for Class A and Class B offices in Sofia fell in the second
half of last year, as the demand for business premises began to climb. It
is generally accepted that it will take EU accession for Sofia to cement
its place as a key European business capital, but there are clearly already
signs of growth in the sector.
The offshoring of activities to Bulgaria has had a considerable effect on
demand for office space and it is thought it will continue to do so in future
years. The Economic Policy Institute has suggested that industries such
as software are particularly likely to see offshoring and it seems Bulgaria
is one of the key bases for such business strategies.
Throughout 2005, rental levels for Class A office premises stood at €12.5
per square metre per month and it is a figure that is expected to rise considerably
as Sofia develops international relations in the coming years.
In terms of UK property, demand for office space is extremely high and investors
in Sofia will be hoping that a similar scenario is in store for Bulgaria.
Yesterday, London-based Investment Property Databank released its annual
index for last year, which showed that the all property total return was
19.1 per cent. This was the biggest gain since 1993, reflecting the current
levels of confidence in the commercial sector.
At 20.4 per cent, office returns easily outpaced both retails and industrials
for the first time for five years. Predictably, the Central London office
market was the most impressive in this respect, although investors have
recently been reporting similarly healthy returns in the likes of Manchester,
Liverpool and Birmingham.
The returns on property investment in the UK are certainly persuading many
people to stay at home rather than looking at the likes of Bulgaria, with
the vast amount of evidence available pointing to a continuation of the
current growth levels.
The Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply has revealed that February
saw the strongest pick-up in house building since July 2005, while its seasonally
adjusted index for construction jumped up from 50.7 to 51.9.
Furthermore, the housing component saw a hugely encouraging rise from 48.9
to 52.8, after four months of stagnancy. It has added to the general consensus
that the property market is now well-placed for a successful year, with
both residential property and commercial projects attracting investment.
A chief reason for investing within the UK is that it is a known market
that generally follows a steady and largely predictable pattern, while Bulgaria
is an emerging market that investors have not yet fully sussed out.
For those willing to take more of a gamble, eventual returns in Bulgaria
will most probably be outstanding, although there are still some variables
to consider. Nonetheless, some investors are happy enough to take this risk,
while others are keeping a close eye on future developments with a view
to capitalising when they decide that the time is right.
