Why Bulgaria

Europe, without the European price tag.

An EU and Schengen country on the euro, with one of the lowest tax rates in the Union. Mountains an hour from the capital, the Black Sea a short flight away, and a cost of living that gives you room to build.

Who's behind it

Built by someone who made the move.

Bulgaria New Base was started by an entrepreneur who spent 24 years building property businesses in the UK before moving home to Bulgaria. He knows both sides of the move — and the people worth knowing when you land.
