BULGARIA: A TABLE OF TYPICAL COSTS

Barry Williamson

Updated July 2008

The following table, taken from a National UK newspaper in February 2007, was sent on to us by motorhomers Barney Barnett and June Coode. It shows a range of typical costs and other features of life in Bulgaria. It was originally produced as part of an article on buying a house in Bulgaria: many British people are doing so, not realising the advantages of driving and living there in your own house! And then being free to drive somewhere else.
