Mortgage programs and banking conditions: new opportunities for customers of traditional real estate

14-03-2025

In Bulgaria, the conditions for mortgage lending have been updated, opening new opportunities for those wishing to purchase property in Bulgaria. The country's leading banks have significantly reduced interest rates, offering more favorable conditions for borrowers. The application process has become simpler and faster, allowing the mortgage approval process to be expedited.

In addition, new mortgage programs have emerged, aimed at supporting people seeking stable and affordable housing. The government and financial institutions actively support this initiative. This increases demand for traditional housing in the country.
