Buying property in Europe from the other side of the world, presents all manner of difficulties, even before one factors in the current martial law in Philippines , and Brexit ( for a UK passport ) in Europe. I had previous experience of buying in Bulgaria, and already knew a number of local agents. Kunka, I came to know about a year before I finally managed to make the return... she admitted that the extraordinary set of circumstances I faced, took more than a little understanding, since they seemed unbelievable. Nonetheless, she neither flinched, nor blinked, and with utmost patience, helped me through not only the purchase, but a whole heap of other problems. Both she and Hristov were kindness itself, and always stood ready to assist. Not only were they very capable as agents, and professional in every way, but their assistance has been extremely welcome, given the immense difficulties faced. With experience of agents here and internationally, I'm happy to offer the highest of recommendations for their professionalism , help well beyond the terms of house purchase, and for their sincerity and friendship.
