Dear Debbie

Hi Simon

We Recently bought a house near to Shumen, in a village call Zaichno Oreshe. There are a few houses available in this village, one or two are almost liveable . Now is the .time to buy here as they are going to build a golf course here in the future. See Walnut grove Bulgaria online. I too come from construction, and have had to use some local subbies to help me do the heavy work. Always  buy your own materials and always ask around for the help you need, there are a lot of sharks over here, and supposed maistro's.

Any help you need, our door is always open. In our village it is best to see the mayor who will tell you of all the properties available, NEVER pay the asking price as you can knock of at least 25 percent. Things go a little slower over here, but with the right info and help this can be done faster than is the local norm. You will hear many horror stories here but these can be over exaggerated .

Generally we find that life here is much better than the UK.

Shumen is 19km away, and varna is 50km away, and the town of nova pazar is 6 km away,  there are lots of little villages around, and very beautiful, but it depends on what you are looking for, just remember people will tell you, your ID card will take a month well we did it in three days in shumen.

What ever you do COST the material  yourself and look around first very important

Hi Ian and Debs,

Don't know if you will get this message two years on from your blog, but we have just moved into the Shumen area and would like to meet other expats in the area. Things can get a little lonely especially when you don't speak much Bulgarian.
Like everyone else we are also looking for someone to do a bit of building work so would welcome any info you are able to provide in this respect. We live in the village of Ivanski just off the main Bourgas/Karnobat road
Hope to hear from you soon
Regards
Pete and Gill

My brother may be able to help.  He,s not a builder by trade but he repaired and extended my home which was in a desperate state.  He built  a room which was to become a kitchen and created a bathroom from nothing also reroofed the entire thing and much much more.  He also built a double stable for himself. If this is the type of work required and you are interested, please let me know and he could contact you direct .

Hi 'Kevalandy'     -     we also have a village house near Shumen (on the other side, but not too far away from Kalnovo) and would be happy to help out where we can.  We are originally from Tasmania (Australia) so, although we are not British, we do speak your language (or a close approximation at least).  We have been there, on and off, for two and a half years, so we learned a few things that might be useful (or not... )

Cheers,

Steve

Hi ian an debs, are you still near shumen?

Hi,
I just moved to Shumen to teach English for 9 months. I'm from the US and looking for expats in the area or Bulgarians who speak English.

Thanks,
