Bulgaria Mortgages

Q. How much mortgage can I have to buy a residential property in Bulgaria ?

Unlike in the UK there are no non-status/self-certification mortgage facilities accepted by the mortgage lenders in Bulgaria.  All applications need to be supported by a minimum requirement of proof of income.  If employed, copies of your last three month's payslips & copies of your latest P60/Employer’s Reference together with copies of your last three month’s Personal Bank Statements will be required or alternatively if you are self-employed, copies of your last three years Audited Accounts & copies of both your last 3 month's Business and Personal Bank Statements will be required whem making your Bulgarian mortgage application.

 

The Bulgarian mortgage lenders will NOT take into consideration any proposed Rental Income from the property for mortgage purposes/repayments.

 

Your loan is based on your joint net “take home” pay and is calculated on an affordability basis. All your existing liabilities including any mortgage/rent payments, personal and bank loans and any maintenance (ie: Divorce) payments together with your proposed Bulgarian mortgage payments must not exceed 40% of your net monthly income.

 

Bulgarian Mortgage Example:

Net joint monthly income £ 2,500 times 40% of that figure is £1,000 minus existing monthly mortgage payment £ 300 – No other liabilities. This leaves a balance of £700 for a proposed Bulgarian Mortgage payment.
