      <description><![CDATA[My favourite place has to be Bourgas.  It has everything - beautiful sea garden; a pier where you can go fishing; nice restaurants and cafes and the beaches are clean and quieter than sunny beach or golden sands.  Not forgetting plenty of shops galore - main street in Bourgas seems to go on for miles!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Recent reports on the news about property in Bulgaria seem to be showing big drops in prices, especially along the Black sea and ski resorts.  However I think that if you go inland, prices there have yet to take off.  There are some really beautiful cities and towns like Pazardjick, Plovdiv, Montana, Hissar and Sofia.  Property prices there with the exception of the capital, Sofia are still cheap and well below the European average.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I'm afraid you are terribly wrong, mate.  There is no domestic market, the French are not buying and the french banks have recently stated that no one is interested in borrowing at the moment.  Do not buy in France, even places like Nice are in difficulty.  Best to wait a couple of years!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Despite what is happening in France at the moment I think the French themselves are helping keep the market bouyant by turning away from the stock market and investing in property - there is plenty of evidence to support this.  Also French banks are falling over lending money to prospective home owners.  2008 and 2009 could turn out to be good years for the French property market.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Everybody that I talk to that is thinking of investing in overseas property seem to think that Brazil is going to be the next 'big thing'.  I would disagree in that I think that there are more lucarative deals to be had in places like Chile and Uruguay both of which are strong on eco tourism, beach life and of course fantastic weather.  At the moment these countries are lagging behind Argentina and Brazil in terms of tourist infrastructure.  However their property prices reflect this making Uruagay and Chile an exciting prospect  for the not too distant future.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[On the whole I would say that the French property market is at best stagnant.  However some areas are dropping alarmingly in value, however some areas will never drop,  like those in coastal regions and the major towns and cities where employment is always high.  I think the big concern at the moment is the weakening of the pound and euro, some sellers  have already started to panic and are dropping their prices.  So there could be bargains to be had in France in the next year or so.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I'm not too sure.  Property prices will certainly not increase, if anything they will decrease by on average about 25% during the next few years - especially in countries like the  USA and the UK. However that is not necessarily a full blown property house crash.  You could argue that this scenario is worse.  I think it is much better if there is a huge property crash in places like the UK enabling first time buyers to get on the property ladder.]]></description>

However I think I will look for somewhere inland, perhaps Sofia, Plovdiv or Pazardjiks - prices  are increasing a lot faster there than sea resorts.  Ruse doesn't look too bad either!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For me its Ruse. It may well be the 5th largest city in Bulgaria but it does not feel like a city.

Its such a beautiful place, well deserving of the nickname little Vienna, given because parts of the city where destroyed and re-designed by Austrian architects.

Like all cities its a relaxed cafe bar culture, but there is more than that, the city is alive, vibrant and thanks to Unesco restored to its former glory. Well worth a visit.

Should you decide to visit, maybe you would like to come and stay with us at our very own English guest, located right in the centre of Ruse.

I feel very lucky living here, my businesses keep me busy, I live  in a beautiful house and I am a 2 minute walk from the Danube.

I read the forums and wonder how every village is the best, every town is the best and every city is the best, and you know, to those that live there, they probably are.

I have lots of information on Ruse which can be found on this link;

http://buying-properties-in-bulgaria.co.uk/index.php?action=page_display&amp;PageID=9

For now I`ll include some photos here as well.

Best regards to all,
