Previously mortgages in Bulgaria for different foreigners have been quite difficult to obtain. However, various legal changes in the recent years generally in the potential way of financing some property deal make the entire process significantly easier. Although the purchase of land by foreign residents is still away, it probably will be permitted soon, too. In most cases, each particular Bulgarian mortgage lender will be able to consider the particular foreign applications, but some lenders could again restrict their financial services for the citizens of certain countries, so it will be always worth for you to check various opportunities for doing this before you commit yourself. You should always remember that if you tend to buy a flat under construction, no mortgage funds will be available for your deal until the completion of the whole building and its legal registration in your name. The legal rules will be the same for a new house or villa. On the other hand, if the land is already bought and registered in your name or under your Bulgarian company, you could use some stage payments on a drawdown basis to construct the particular building. Most of these loans available on the property market in Bulgaria today typically will also include different home improvements.

The minimum amount is most often 40 000 euro to 75 000 euro loan for three or four applicants, but there is no upper limit in this way of financing of property deals in Bulgaria. On the other hand, it could be generally useful for you to remember that up to 20 per cent of each rental income may be taken into account on the property to be mortgaged when assessing status. The successful applicant for mortgages in Bulgaria should be between 21 and 65 years old on the maturity of his loan. The maximum number of applicants for each mortgage is four.
