What do I need to know before moving to Pleven?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Pleven, they said:

"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," replied a member in Pleven.

How do I find a place to live in Pleven?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"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," remarked one expat who made the move to Pleven.
