Many of us dream of a new life in a different country but think of a million reasons why we can’t make the dream a reality. Bulgaria has attracted expatriates to its shores for many years and continues to do so. Indeed, property experts House Sales Bulgaria (http://www.housesalesbulgaria.com/) helps countless people realise their dream of moving into a property in Bulgaria and starting a new life there. Here are just some top reasons to move to Bulgaria.

First, let’s look at the all-important property prices. Real estate in Bulgaria has experienced the ups and downs of every real estate market in recent years given the market conditions. While property in Bulgaria always represented a great bargain compared to UK or Irish property, some people looking to sell property in Bulgaria now are dropping their prices to ensure a sale which is creating some fantastic purchase opportunities. 

Then there’s taxes. Bulgaria benefits from a flat tax system which means that personal and corporate tax rates for 2011 are 10% across the board. This doesn’t just make property in Bulgaria more affordable, but it also allows people to start their own home-based businesses in the country without being punished by the tax man. This opens up Bulgaria to expats who are young couples and families and not just retirees. The education system in Bulgaria is solid, offering expat parents the option of choosing local Bulgarian schools or private international schools which tend to be far more affordable than the British equivalent.

The low cost of living in general is a significant benefit. A report from Eurostat reveals Bulgaria to be the country with the cheapest hotels, restaurants and even home appliances in the EU. Which means that both eating in and dining out is affordable and your friends and family can come and visit without breaking the bank. Eating out and taking holidays are being sacrificed by many people in the UK and Ireland now that times are tough. The idea of moving to a country where restaurants don’t have to be a luxury and friends and relatives can afford to visit on cheap holidays is a huge plus.

Moving to Bulgaria may not be for everyone, but do your research and plan in advance and an expat life in the country could hold many exciting and rewarding times ahead. Find out more about buying and selling property in Bulgaria at http://www.housesalesbulgaria.com/.
