£7k for this house is a real bargain!! 👍👏 The interior of the house seems quite liveable although of course it needs a lot of work. But, similar to many others that dedicate their time on DIY, with a lots of attention and love you will achieve good results and sure enjoy your OWN property and because Bulgaria has a quite arable land, you will enjoy growing very tasty tomatoes, veggies, fruits, etc. There are many jars because food is stored in them for the winter it is called "zimnina" derived from the Bulgarian word zima i.e. winter. They are usually pickles, sour cabbage, green tomatoes, or anything that can be conserved. This tradition exists until today. Usually sugar, salt and vinegar are used to preserve the foods, but also the cold acts like a natural refrigerator. They are prerpared in later summer/early autumn. Try to avoid buying veggies from larger supermarkets because they are imported from other countries and very tasteless or taste like plastic. Stick to the smaller shops or the weekly pazars with natural products especially honey, wine, rakia, walnuts, etc. Most towns have them. Ask your closest neighbours if you are not sure.
Welcome to your new home, Bulgaria family and have a peaceful life 🙏

village houses that are not close to major cities are still incredibly cheap in Bulgaria even by Bulgarian standards, lol. Those houses are mostly abandoned homes, for example someones great-great grandma/grandpa passed away, nobody wants to deal with the hassle of restoring the house or anything, and they just sell it for cheap, like for just the plot value, the house is just.. a bonus? Thats how my grandparents got a house of their own, since now they're pensioners so they are starting to move away from city life, they bought a cheap house, since the previous owner passed away and nobody wanted to deal with the house, so they sold it and my grandparents bought it and renovated it, now they live there and the plot is actually quite big, so they got a huge garden in which they plant a lot of stuff and the entire plot is level so it's perfect. I sincerely recommend to everyone, whenever possible, buy those homes and take care of them, the value is insane.

Lovely house! With a little touch it will be wonderful new home 🖤
P.s. the bottles - usually in Bulgaria we use those bottles during the summer we make tomatoes juice and basically u can have it with vodka during the winter or use it for cooking, but also if you don’t want them, some of them can be returned to the shops (usually the beer bottles) and they have to pay u back like 20 or 25 stotinki (Bulgarian pence) per bottle :) the jars 🫙 also we use for conservation of food like … basically whatever xd strawberries, tomatoes, pickles 🥒, pears and apples 🤷🏼

Great value for money, £7, 000!! The ones that I have been looking at are about £12, 000+ in the VT region.
I suppose over the coming weeks/ months you will take us with you as you explore and work on your home .
Congratulations ❤

This is fascinating .. a million times better than recent mania-fuelled Portuguese properties going for at least 20X the price for similar size, and guess what they are often just a pile or rubble with caved in roof!!

I have been looking at houses for sale in Bulgaria for over a year now. I would love to take the plunge, but am scared. I don’t know the language at all, and that really scares me. Oh and the winter!!! Congrats on taking that step! Very exciting!

Welcome to Bulgaria guys! Hope that soon you will feel this house like your home.

[jamessmith]
