Process:

Due to the relative infancy of the market, there are limited options in the Bulgarian market. With a large volume of documents and licences required by the developer, before the mortgage can be approved, delays are quite common. With a general lack of experience with non resident clients looking for mortgages in Bulgaria , delays are commonplace. Bulgarian banks occasionally change their criteria during the mortgage process affecting all clients.
