British citizens can buy property in Bulgaria even after Brexit, but there are some important legal aspects to understand. Apartments and houses without land can be purchased directly. For houses with land, farmland or plots, it is necessary to set up a Bulgarian company.

Owning property does not grant automatic residence rights. UK citizens may stay 90 days within every 180 days without a visa. For longer stays, a D visa and residence permit are required. Buying property worth around 306,000 to 312,000 euros may qualify for long-term residence.

The buying process includes: choosing a region, hiring a lawyer, property viewing and reservation, signing a preliminary contract, completing the notary deed and registering in the Land Registry.

Popular regions include Veliko Tarnovo, Varna, Plovdiv and many traditional rural villages. Bulgaria is attractive to expats because of its low cost of living, beautiful countryside and welcoming communities.

Working with a reliable real estate agency ensures safe transactions and professional guidance. Bulgarian Rural Properties specialises in helping British citizens buy homes and offers full support through the entire process.
