Bulgarian Properties MortgagesA couple of years ago BULGARIAN PROPERTIES was one of the first real estate agencies in Bulgaria to start offering foreign buyers a Bulgarian mortgage.

However, in the conditions of a financial crisis the banks have introduced stricter requirements to their clients regarding mortgage loans. At this stage Bulgarian banks have limited the financing both to foreign and Bulgarian property buyers. However, foreign citizens are seen as clients which fall into a riskier group compared to Bulgarian clients. In view of the global situation this way Bulgarian banks protect themselves as well as the whole banking sector from future unfavorable conditions.

Main requirements to the property
A main requirement of the banks is the property to be finished (with Act 15 or Act 16). Financing in an earlier stage is not possible. The location of the property is also very important. Properties in the big cities are quite attractive both to investors and banks which means there is a greater chance to receive a loan for such property. Compared to previous periods the self-participation percentage on the part of loan applicants has increased. Currently banks provide financing up to 60% of the property’s price.

For more information and advice regarding a specific property you can our mortgage specialist Galya Zlatanova and we will be glad to find out the details for you and provide you with accurate information and guidance.
