Welcome to my site.
Please let me introduce myself, my name is Mark Wright and for more than eight years now I have been in the real estate business, mainly within the UK, where I became an office manager with a leading estate agency group. After moving to Bookavets near Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria in March 2007 I did not work for several months, then for 10 months I worked for one of the largest real estate agencies in Veliko Tarnovo, helping train the English speaking Bulgarian agents, who deal with the International clients.
I am now working independantly locating properties for buyers, who are looking to relocate around Veliko Tarnovo, Resen, Hotnitsa areas. Working on their behalf, I can access far more properties and select only ones suitable to my clients thus cutting down time spent looking at non suitable abodes.
I live here with my wife Sally, and son Shane, (our daughter Teri, lives in Swindon Wiltshire.) in a large village called Resen, just north of Veliko Tarnovo. We enjoy a stress free lifestyle that we could only imagine whilst living in the UK., long hot sunny summers and cold snowy winters.
There are quite a few Brit’s within a few kilometers of us, but mostly we talk to our Bulgarian neighbours, slowly, as we do not speak fluent Bulgarian yet! The local people are very friendly and will often pass you small gifts like fruit and Rakia (local home made whiskey) We for our part return their friendship with home made cakes etc.
Our British friends are great, we meet up quite often to help each other with new products found, or general information we have gathered. Sometimes just for a coffee or beer!
I have found that many British come here looking to buy property, but do not know where to start. I have a few key questions that I like to ask, this gives me a real insight to what they are looking to achieve. As I have been through the process and now know the pitfalls, hopefully I can save others the heartache and stress of searching for the right property.
I can help with all the details required in buying property here, from setting up bank accounts to opening your company, this is required when you buy a house with land. I can source any kind, from land/apartment/house/office even hotels.
Let me know how I can help you.
If you have any questions about my service I can provide you with names and email address's of previous clients who would be happy to tell you more about me and the level of service provided.
Please read all the "post's" on my blog, at the bottom of each page you can click a button for "older post's" this just means "go to the next page". You should find a lot of useful information contained here. If you feel the need for anything else please let me know and I will be happy to oblige.
I have just been informed that the press in the UK are saying that 1 in 3 people are looking to move abroad. I have to say, I do not blame them. If they want a better, quieter way of life then now is the time to be moving.
Although properties in the UK are going through a rough spell and the Euro is stronger against the pound, properties here are still very well priced. In fact I am still able to negotiate on the advertised prices.
Not all news is bad news, we live a very comfortable lifestyle here without worrying about the world credit crunch, you to could be doing this. Why not make the move now!

hello mark , i was wondering if you could help me .i paid a 40% deposit on an apartment in sofia in 2007 with the intention of closing in december 2008.my problem is that i can no longer close because of lack of credit available in ireland and bulgarian rates are so high that it would be far too expensive . i had sent an e-mail to the development company prior to artical 15 saying that i could not close but their lawyer is saying they will go to court to get me to buy or i will lose all my deposit . the english company that i was buying through are being of no help at all during all of this . thank you tony
Hi Tony.
I wish I could be more helpful, but if you read your contract is will PROBABLY state that if the vendor defaults on his side of the contract he will have to repay you double the deposit. But if you default on the contract then you lose the deposit.
Please read your contract very carefully, check that they have not broken any part of it before proceeding. If they have not, then you may well have lost your deposit.
Companies are being harder now due to the world's finacial crises.
As you signed contracts here in Bulgaria you are under Bulgarian law.
I know this information may not be what you wanted to hear, so I am sorry.
If I can help you please let me know.
