Everyone desires to have his own house and especially in Bulgaria, but some fears and delusions stop many people from buying one. Let’s try to figure out the nature of these fears.
1.Security. Fear that the bought house will be robbed or smashed brick by brick.
It is absolute delusion. The house acquired in a decent district or village will never become an object of robbery or something like that. The fact of the matter is that local people, living in a city or even abroad (and this is the majority of Bulgarian real estate owners), have a house or even a few houses in the seashore or in the mountains. They come to their apartment rarely that is why nothing can happen to the property. There are a few reasons of that. The neighbors will watch your house and it is historically established big number of private houses – the inhabitants of such apartments are not interested in any kind of robbery.
Of course there is no 100% guarantee: such things can still happen, but they occur very seldom, it is more like an exception from general rules, and such Russian specific phenomena as vandalism is totally ruled out. It is not a problem to install the alert system in your house. The villages near the cities, resorts or big towns as a rule have one or a few security agencies. The alarm systems themselves are rather innovative with the use of radio signal, motion sensors and autonomous power supply when electricity is off. The price for installation of such equipment starts from 300 euro and depends on manufacturer, level of complexity and the number of rooms. The territory around the house and gates also can be equipped with guarding techniques. All necessary equipment can be rented instead of purchasing. The yearly price for guarding service will be about 200 – 3000 euro. The situation around the houses in new cottage villages is very good, there is own security department for each village as a rule, it works all the year round.
2.Insurance.
The insurance of real estate is widely used and started long time ago, it is actively offered by various companies and the insurers carry out all the commitments. As a concrete example the insurance cost for a house estimated at 150 000 euro, ensured for fire, natural disasters, vandalism, accidents and pipe breaks is 200 euro per year. If to make an insurance for 1 000 000 euro house, it will be about 2500 euro per year.
3. Communications and payments for them while your absence is not a problem too.
A specialized bank account is opened and registered in energy and water supply departments; a sum of money you need to pay is specified beforehand and automatically paid every month. Writing about fears connected with heating in mild warm climate is useless, taking into account that Russians know what the real winter is. You can tell about this your neighbors when making friendship with them, as Bulgarians are fascinated with snow each time when it falls there. They wonder how it can lie on the ground for 5 months in Russia not melting.
4. Fears connected with business registration.
Yes, the acquisition of real estate implies the registration of legal entity. We make this registration absolutely for free for our clients, and once a year we make necessary reports for tax administration, saying that the company is out of business and has deficit balance – this costs 250 euro per year. That is why you will experience no worries, no hassle with business registration.
Bulgaria is the country of houses. This was historically established, there are lots of old and new houses, they accurately blend with local sceneries, people are used to them and don’t recognize as them as something special. The house is not the youth or old age, it is for the whole life, it is very convenient, it is yours. It is your area where you rest, meet friends, swim in the pool, and enjoy your own fruit or vegetable garden. This is where your children grow.
Bulgarians themselves regard flats as a necessity to be closer to the work place, but for the rest house is obviously preferable. While the large number of apartment complexes in resort towns became more attractive for Bulgarians too. But the house can’t be compared with flats, it is totally different thing. Indeed, the house requires more efforts and time for maintaining, but this is always a pleasant pastime – to mess around the trees or pool, arrange barbeque. That privacy and the feel of property given by your own house can’t be achieved in any penthouse, not mentioning the studios. Don’t be afraid. The prices are very small, they came to their possible minimum. The price for a house of 150 sq.m with land plot is equal to the price for the flat with 2-3 rooms. But if take into account all bounties of house, its acquisition becomes much more reasonable. For instance, it is not allowed to place a satellite dish for NTV World in resort apartment. In case of house only you can decide whether you can install the dish or not. The ability to have own swimming pool is also a significant advantage. Arbours, vegetable garden, trees, utility buildings, barbeque, indoor garage, playground, wine cellar, and many other elements of comfort are available only when having a house. All these advantages define the quality of life.DAO REAL will always help you in all your initiatives, will pick up or build anything you need, will rebuild, complete, repair, support, register or consult, you know, regarding the questions where to go and what to buy.
