In Bulgaria most of the buyers of residential properties, prefer to buy their new property completed to this standard (not-painted walls, unfinished bathrooms - no tiles, no accessories, no lighting), because they have the complete freedom to design and finish their property exactly as they wish, and within their budget. We believe that purchasing a residential property completed to "Bulgarian Completion Standard" is the best option both for property investors and for buyers intending to live here permanently. For the investors it is a flexible way to acquire a property on the minimum possible price, keep it for some time after the building is completed, and then re-sell in the same condition (Bulgarian Completion Standard) with profit. The buyer of your re-sell property would be usually a person who will live there, so he/she will have the opportunity to choose all the finishing materials and design.

The developer can offer full finishing and furnishing of the apartments upon request and against additional payment (check the price list).
Buyers who are interested in letting their property should perform full completion works and furnish it to a good specification. We recommend buying on the "Fully finished" option, as the apartment will have the necessarry optimal standard for successful and profitable letting.
