Buy property in Bulgaria with mortgage

Not all Bulgarian banks provide mortgage loans for foreign citizens but a few do finance property purchase with mortgaging the purchased Bulgarian property. However the banks which grant mortgage loans to foreign nationalities are conservative in their approach and would anteriorly finance city properties or high end properties with prime location and only after careful evaluation of the asset.

In 2023 the interests rates for mortgage loans in Bulgaria are between 3-3,5 %. The competition in the sector and the dynamics in the field make the banks flexible and open to individual approach.
