British demand for property in Bulgaria wanes



Country:  Bulgaria

1 February 2008

Fewer Brits are now interested in buying property for sale in Bulgaria, according to Bulgarian Dreams.

The estate agency informs Homes Overseas on-line that it will no longer market Bulgarian property for sale in Britain. The fall in UK demand comes as a bitter blow to Bulgaria’s property sector, which is facing testing times. An oversupply of properties in many areas means that a number of British property investors are now struggling to sell their Bulgarian properties, causing Bulgarian property prices to fall across some parts of the country.

Dave Reynolds of Bulgarian Dreams told Homes Overseas on-line: “Far less Brits are now buying property in Bulgaria, due to higher living costs and growing concerns about the UK economy. Consequently, we have decided to concentrate on selling property in Bulgaria to more property buyers overseas, most notably Russians.”

Nordic based Danske Bank recently warned that there are similarities between the property bubble growing in Eastern Europe and the financial crisis that hit East Asia in 1997.

Danske Bank's chief economist, Lars Christensen, said: “The macro picture is deteriorating dramatically. On almost all indicators, the extremes are worse than during the East Asia crisis in 1997-1998. We have a story of over-leveraging and asset bubbles with massive excesses that are clearly unsustainable. Look at Latvia, where the current deficit has reached 30 per cent of GDP, and it is not much better in Bulgaria and Romania."
