Croatia or Bulgaria? This question is asked when buying an apartment on the seaside. Flats and townhouses in these sunny countries are bought both for living and for renting out to tourists. Investing in an object, especially from a property developer, requires an assessment of the pros and cons of both countries. We suggest comparing holidays in Bulgaria and Croatia. This will help you find the best option for yourself.
 

What is better: Croatia or Bulgaria

To find out which country is better for a tourist, you can read reviews on forums. Travellers here share opinions about the quality of service, features of beaches and excursions. However, when choosing property in Croatia and Bulgaria, including secondary, take into account not only these characteristics.

Features of flats in Croatia:

  • one square metre costs from 1800-2300 euros;
  • there is a marketing ploy associated with the impeccable purity of the Adriatic Sea;
  • sellers present objects as exclusive;
  • the market is unstable and unpredictable;
  • the purchase is associated with numerous difficulties;
  • high property taxes in Croatia.

The key part of the market is old secondary housing. It is sold by foreigners who want to get rid of the flat as soon as possible.

Property in Bulgaria is more attractive for those who are looking for a bargain. Even with a limited budget, it is possible to find the best option. Features:

  • a square metre costs from 1000-1200 euros;
  • prices are not raised artificially;
  • a wide range of offers - from budget to luxury;
  • measured price growth, which makes the flats attractive;
  • predictable market.

Buying property can be quick and easy. This also applies to buying in instalments. Additional payments and taxes are transparent. Consult Bulgarian Resales for more information. It will also help to avoid possible pitfalls and make the purchase successful.

Features of Croatia

This is a picturesque country consisting of islands. Attracts spectacular sea locations and a measured way of life. Another advantage is the clean pine air. However, holidays in Croatia are expensive. Especially if you compare it with Bulgaria. This applies to restaurants, excursions, car hire.

Croatia's climate is unstable. In summer there are often thunderstorms and showers. Also there are pressure fluctuations. Therefore, the climate here can present many surprises and disrupt the plans of the tourist. The water in the Adriatic Sea in early summer is cool. It evenly warms up by the end of June. This should be taken into account when planning a holiday.

The standard of living in Croatia is lower than in Bulgaria. It is also worth noting the less developed infrastructure for tourists. Therefore, when choosing where to buy property, you should give preference to Bulgaria.
