Summary: Very detailed and helpful book!
Comment: This book is very detailed and contains lots of practical advice. I personally found the section on using foreign exchange transfers very helpful, saving me time and money. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone considering buying in Bulgaria. The practical tips in the appendix really helped me.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I bought this book with high hopes,currently being in the process of buying a property in Bulgaria. I was deeply disappointed. Much of the book contains bland generalisations and statements of the obvious. Much of it seemed to rely on the author's knowledge of Varna (a Black Sea coastal resort), which is no good to anyone buying a property in a ski resort, for example.There was also blatant advertising for a foreign exchange company. I can only assume that the company helped fund the book.
I would estimate that less than 5% of the book is of any practical use, and much of that information can be obtained from a few internet searches. I am now nearing completion on my Bulgarian property purchase and this book has been of no assistance.

Summary: Very Informative
Comment: I bought a copy of this book in Golden sands from an estate agent known as Varna Property Sales.The book helped me decide what I should be looking out for, I returned to England and read the book thoroughly, the reading was very clear.
I returned to Bulgaria armed with many questions for the estate agents, after which I bought a lovely detached house and have now retired to Bulgaria. If you are thinking of buying for investment or living, you should buy this book first.

Summary: Great read and very, very informative
Comment: At last - a coherent and informative guide to the real estate market in Bulgaria!!! It covered most aspects of property buying in great detail. Some sections, for example money transfer, give you step by step instructions to the best and cheapest options (e.g. an FX broker), including internet screenshots detailing how to fill in the forms etc. Many reference guide books send you to sleep after a few pages, but this book is written with a sense of humour and is a pleasure to read.
We have already done some property deals in Bulgaria, but this book showed just how little we knew!
Definite thumbs up!
