I am now in a postion to offer a vacant property gardening service or just a check over on a regular basis.
The options are
1/ A general gardening service to keep the weeds and trees in order, along with the opening up of the property to air it through and dust out all the cobwebs that gather indoors.
2/ A decorating service, maybe you would like the lounge re-painted.
3/ A visit to an empty property to check that everything is in order and that nothing is missing and make sure the gates etc are still locked.
4/ Wood delivery and a cutting and chopping service. Wood is ordered from the local Mayor and the delivery driver leaves it outside of your gates in 1 metre lengths. So it needs to be moved and cut. This will mean that you do not have to spend your holiday time cutting wood to keep warm in the Spring, Autumn and Winter.
5/ General building work or maintance.
Prices vary as the the amount of work required, also the distance to travel to a property.
Please email me at propertylocatorbulgaria@hotmail.com with your requirements.

Renewing British Passports
Many people ask how do we renew our expiring passport.
Well at present, the procedure is that you have to apply at the British Embassy in Sofia in person and then your application is sent to a centralised bureau, (in Vienna) for processing. The new passport is sent back via the diplomatic bag to Sofia and when they receive it they phone you to find out if you are going to collect it or whether you want it sent by courier.
It however is set to change in March.
The centrallised office will then be in Dusseldorf Germany!
All applications together with payments will be made online. So it appears that someone has seen the way forward, this should be much quicker and less time consuming.
I will just like to point out that just because they say this will happen in March, it may well be later. If I get any further information on this subject I will update this post.

Great News
I work independantly to help bring the best selection of properties to clients looking to relocate to Bulgaria.
I have just spoken to another three real estate companies who are more than happy to work with me. This will give me more properties to vet before visiting clients arrive.
The slow down in the world property market means that everyone is eager to help each other more than usual.
This news is good news for potential clients. So if your thinking of making the move, then let's get on with it while the vendors are happy to listen to offers.

Company Accounts
This is now the time to get your company accounts sorted out.
If you live in Bulgaria and own a house with land you must have a company. Every year just like in the UK you must submit your yearly accounts.
This is not difficult, if you live here you can get an accountant and they will do everything for you, if you do not live here then you must have someone here who has a power of attorney for your company.
This is important, if you do not submit the figures by March there is a fine to be paid. If you do not have any income from your company then you will not pay any taxes.
Cost's vary from around 100 Euros up to about 350 Euros. I will pay 150 Euros this year, it is the same accountant I used last year, they keep your accounts and figures so it is easier to use the same one. Just like in the UK.
