What do I need to know before moving to Bulgaria?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bulgaria, 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," wrote a member who made the move to Pleven, Bulgaria.
