moving to bulgaria

9 years ago
Hi all really looking for lots of advice please.
My partner and myself have been looking into moving to Bulgaria with our 4 children. Ideally we would want to set up our own small business to help support ourselves financially. We really need to
know what are the best areas for schools as we have a 12 year old,10 year old a 3 year old and 5 month old. The eldest has just started secondary school here in the UK and my daughter is due to start next year.
We would like to find a rural property with land in order to live pretty much self sufficiently and also to run our business from. Somewhere near to a lake or river for fishing, beautiful countryside for taking bike rides or horse riding treks out. Any suggestions on areas would be much welcome.
Next we are looking for advice on how easy it is to get planning permission for a business and also for renovating your property or possibly extending a property. Are there any laws or anything we should watch out for?

A lot of questions I know but thanks in advance for any replies. It's all well and good 'googling' thongs but better to hear from someone who has been there and done it all.
Thanks
Amy and Darren
