Bulgaria

Bulgaria stands out as the most affordable EU property market, offering stunning Black Sea coastline properties, historic mountain towns, and vibrant capital city living at prices that seem too good to be true.

The Black Sea coast (Varna, Burgas, Sunny Beach, Golden Sands) is particularly attractive for investors, with beachfront properties delivering 9-12% rental yields from tourism and expat renters. Sofia, the capital, offers urban sophistication with mountain views and excellent value for money.

With average property prices of just €75,000, Bulgaria combines EU membership benefits with Eastern European affordability. The country's flat 10% income tax rate, low property taxes, and minimal red tape make it ideal for rental property investors and retirees seeking guaranteed sunshine and low living costs.
