ENERGO-Pro bils by sammut115
Does anyone know how to go about obtaining itemized electric bills from the Energo -Pro website ? Its simple enough paying online for non residents but the bill they issue comes only with the amount due , without any details of usage .
If you pay via epay, try clicking on the little magnifying glass to the left of the bill in the list on the main epay page. It should bring up an itemized bill for Energo-Pro, showing the old and new meter readings for the two different rates and ... Read More

And our village is very different to @JimJ's! It's set in a river valley in the Danubian plains in Dobrich province, so there are no views apart from at the top of the hill, though along the small river is quite pretty. The population is now less ... Read More

Yulson homes bulgaria by Pumarosa200
Hi I was wondering if anybody has bought a house from yulson homes and if their experience was positive, also how long have they been trading and if they are legitimate? Thanks in advance
I haven't dealt with them, but they seem legit and I think at least one forum member bought from them and reported a good experience. Onr thing to consider, not just for this seller, but with any Bg properties for sale online, is that some of the ... Read More

@JimJ Goodness me! I've visited VT numerous times, though not for a couple of years and only ever in the spring and autumn, not the summer, so my experience of the city was very different. I found it pleasant and interesting. We didn't attempt to ... Read More

David, of the English-speaking agencies, Century Homes (or CityRent, which is part of the same business) is one offering rentals I have heard other forum members speak highly of. They may have the best selection. Yantra Homes only have one house ... Read More

Council Tax Shocker by Mrs Homemaker
Hello folksies I've just learned that within Oryahovo Municipality this year's council tax has risen by 300%Is anyone else in this region or any other region in Bulgaria experiencing this scale of increase ? This is extremely disturbing
Not if you're smart, they aren't! Just "put it on the market" and you only pay the normal rate... 馃槑 - @JimJ Except that in many areas of the UK, that only works for the first three months the house is on the market! Read More

VT does have several good local estate agents who handle rentals as well as sales. I'm not sure there will be much available in villages with agents, but it's worth looking. Imot.bg and olx.bg are Bulgarian language sites that also have properties ... Read More
