THE NORTHERN BLACK COAST ALLIANCE

[Pirol]

....should have a new thread I thought. So we are more easy to find....

From the "International Homes" Jan. issue

'Rockarch's tip for the next big thing is north of Varna, near Kranevo and Balchik where a new golf course is in development. The potential for strong investment yields is similarly rosy.'

Hi German

We're about 5 kms south of Varna in a village called Borovets (not the borovets, obviously) and we had about 3-4 inches of snow 3 days before Christmas, but by Christmas day I was pottering in the garden in t-shirt and jeans - a bit confusing.

Hi german , havent seen any further South than Varna so cant comment......

Romania could tempt me....Maybe?

Happy where I am (Shabla ) at moment ....Think I have made a GOOD choice there....

Talking to others who think the same but not bought yet......
Perhaps 2005 last chance to buy reasonably cheaply past Kavarna!!!

[Pirol]

you think so?
When we left bulgaria in the last October the prices in Topola were between 10 and 20 Euros (e.g. at portalimoti), now they are between 15 and 45.
We thought the prices would fall a bit in the winter but they really didn´t...

[Hoowster]

Well really depends on what you consider cheap?
And of course condition of property....
Cheap?..........Lets say £10,000....30,000 Leva
Condition? Electricity (All The Time!) Water (All the Time)
INSIDE toilet....

Think these soon will be FEW and far between!!!

Hi Hoowster

Thought my ears were burning..


I bought , as you know at 19,000, for my house and land in July. I was offered 29,000 at the end of October by the same agent if I wanted to sell back to them. Not a bad return for 12 weeks.
My house has about 2600m2 of land. Land prices in Kamen Briag are about 20euM2 now

The north is definitly on the up!

.....although saying that I really like Varna and Balcik and would be happy to live there.

Anyway up the North!

hi fellow northerners, thought you needed some back up against those southern softys, I've rallyed the troops and they're on the way...I think.
We paid 17euros per sq/m for a plot at Bozhurets close to the sea and new golf course but I'm not expecting a huge increase for a while, at least till the course is complete and hotels are built ready for the golfers. I'm sure in the not to distant future the land will be very very expensive and with a new house built on it the investment will be recovered with a nice chunk of equity thrown in. If you're thinking about buying up there...don't think too long!

Just thought I'd add my weight to the Northern contingent. My half-built house is 5km towards Balcik from Dobrich. I was hoping to post more photos this weekend but I guess the big freeze has stopped work.

[Hoowster]

Got 30 mins before have to go out.......

My guess German , is that AJ is in Plachidol....or near vicinity

Reason being quite a commune of Brits in there!

Am I right AJ?

I think I need a seconder to welcome you to the NORTHERN ALLIANCE?
But maybe German has already sponsored you in which case I'm your seconder....Chipster whats your opinion?
Prosac & Scanniaman are also worthy Northeners....but like myself are inclined (well Prosac anyway...To wind up certain ladies in other forums...LOL)

But if there is to be an Inland section I would suggest that the 27 (road) to Balchick from Dobrich Defines it (maybe the 71 to the coast at a pinch?)
And from Dobrich through General Toshevo to Romania via the 29 (at Yovkovo)

If all is agreed AJ you must of course roll up the left trouser leg and swear the sacred secret Oath at the Summer innaugeration where we will all have to swear Allegiance by drinking a pint from the sacred goblet of Zagorka and imbibe of the shot glass of Pilska.......

What Have I been drinking.......??
