Moving to Pleven, Bulgaria

"I would find out about a area of the country you like and fly out, drive around to if possible to find a place you like then find a estate agent or a English person to find you some houses to view . I moved out with Oggi who has a removal company, you pack your goods and he arranges the pick up, you have to load it on the lorry his driver will help, had it delivered from door to door in 6 days, great service and cheap, if you would like his email contact me," said one expat in Pleven.

"Wanted a house in town with land at a good price, but hard to come by. Searched many many estate agents, found 2 luckily in the same area, brought one of these, as don't drive its easy to walk into town, no problems in winter, and am on the main train line so can get anywhere in Bulgaria," commented one expat who made the move to Pleven.

"I live in an house, most expats who have moved to this area live in houses and not apartments," replied a member in Pleven.

"House taxes are way way lower, electric is about the same, most heating that people use is by wood, same as mine that heats up the seven radiators to keep the house warm. Water is cheap, and if you have a well like me watering the garden doesn't cost you anything, but I am lucky that mine is drinkable to which a lot isn't," said one expat in Pleven.

"Dumpling Mix, loads of it. Marmite Oxo's. Some furniture, Husband, some clothes," said one expat who made the move to Pleven.
