British Developments LtdBritish owned and managed, the company was incorporated by in the mid 90”s to prepare for the significant opportunities that would occur in the Bulgarian real estate market as the country emerged from the communist era. As Bulgaria begins to grow and develop economically - and at the same time stabilize itself politically, the Company believed the time was right to commence operations in the area and began to work towards the opening of its main commercial center in Burgas, the bustling City port that sits at the heart of the Black Sea Coast. Now you will find British Development offices across Bulgaria – occupying prime locations in all the major coastal and Ski resorts – Burgas, Sunny Beach, Sozopol as well as Bansko and Borovets. British Developments have associate partners in the commercial centers of Plovdiv, Blagoevgrad and the Capital Sofia.
British Developments operates with a full compliment of carefully chosen and highly trained English, Russian, German, Persian, French and Italian speaking staff – including the companies’ own in house legal experts, chartered accountants and project managers. Each office has dedicated client managers who are responsible for the continued development of Client relationships and customer after sales service, have strengthened the original management team.
British Developments operate differently to most UK based companies currently offering Bulgarian properties. The Company has made significant investment in Bulgaria itself – this is in stark contrast to the competition. The Directors feel strongly that the business should focus its operations on providing unbiased and impartial advice to clients. British Developments is a totally independent Estate Agent and has no ties to any developer – we are therefore able to advise our clients and have no conflict of interest. The company has now firmly established itself within Bulgaria and has an enviable and growing list of properties – approx 8 000, carefully vetted, reputable developers and most pleasingly – an ever-increasing number of highly satisfied customers from all around the world!
Award Winning Service
During the course of the last year, British Developments received a Bentley 4 star award – being judged the best Estate agent in Bulgaria. A “Business Britain” award – having been voted the best European Property consultant of 2005/6 - joined this award. Further recognition came as a result of our appearance on the BBC Holiday programme – details of this and our other awards can be found as you browse our website.

Dear Stella
Thank you for your e-mail.
I am extremely happy that your organisation has applied for the Bentley Award. I have no hesitation in recommending your organisation. When we were in Bulgaria, Pej, Ely and the other staff were extremely helpful, professional and courteous in all dealings. We were impressed with the speed with which the deals were done and the help that was given towards the setting up of our Limited Company and the Bank accounts. All in all, we received a complete service, and were very pleased with it. We wish you all success.
Kind regards, Hasu
Hi Pej,
after the preliminary contract of my first (yes, it’s just the first!) apartment in the wonderful Black Coast, I want to congratulate you and all your staff for the great result.
But I can not do it without remember the way we met about 6 month ago… it was a rainy saturday evening… one of the last evening of my very first journey in Bulgaria and after a long walk, stopping to relax a while, I was attracted by the sign of your offices!
May be because I am Italian & I just knew three words in Bulgarian, so your sign was so close to the language I knew that I decided to go in. Curiosity pushed me, but also if it was saturday evening you spent a couple hours not just trying to “sell” me, but really enlightening me about developments in that area. Incredible! I was there to ask some questions and I received a free lesson of international economy and real estate developments!
That casual meeting & your inspiring words printed in my mind just a goal: “I want to be in this great opportunity!”
So I came back with a relative, we visited other agencies but they all were so different by what & who impressed me in my first journey! And now, we both are making business with you!
Thanks a lot Pej, and thanks to all your staff of really professional people. You completely supported me in all different issues to set my business there and to achieve one of my dreams, an apartment on the beach with a swimming pool included!
I wish you all the best, more the sure that with your way to support customers so seriously professional and in the same time warmly caring for their needs, British Developments can become one of the top Real Estate agencies in the wonderful Black Coast.
I am thankful.
Yours truly,
Nino Ciaccio

My acquaintance with the British Development team wasn’t purposeful. While my family and I were taking a walk, I was attracted to the front show-window of their office. They met us and offered me help, so that I have found British Development friendly and helpful from the first day of our business connection. They gave me good pieces of advice how to sell my property. Moreover it was represented in its best side. As a result of the guidance’ ingenuity I did the transaction, which suits me best.
British Development agency shows me what means to work with professionals, who have good efficient skills. In the future I will be glad to (work with them).
Yours faithfully: Ivan Ivanov
I was introduced to British Developments through a close friend who had visited Bulgaria with the intention of buying property in the Black Sea area. Travelling with my friend on a further trip to explore the area we were warmly greeted by the British Development team, who also arranged hotel accommodation for us. The family business is led by Pejman, his wife, and supported by an enthusiastic multi-skilled team of young professionals.
In the first two days we were driven around to get a feel for the area. Initially I was unsure what to invest in, as a number of options were presented to me. I could invest off plan for rental income and a potential capital gain or buy a piece of land. We viewed land and properties in a number of locations. British Developments personal guidance helped me to identify my investment priority, and eventually I decided on a villa as a second home for family holidays with potential rental income.
After deciding to proceed with a purchase, the British Development team kicked into action. In addition to arranging the viewings and negotiations with the vendors, they offered me professional assistant from their in house legal service to open bank accounts and registered a company in our name, which is a requirement for purchasing a freehold property in Bulgaria under their current legislation.
British Developments also accepted my power of attorney to conclude the purchase agreement etc. in my absence.
Since my return to the UK, I have been in regular contact with them by email, they arranged for me the certified translation of all key documents, and organised professional survey and valuation of our chosen property.
Since the conclusion of the purchase they have arranged for the building insurance and prepared for me a rental agreement. I have found the British Development agency professional, efficient, friendly and helpful at all times.
I do not believe it would have been possible for us to undertake this transaction effectively without their involvement and guidance.
I wish British Developments every success and would be very happy to recommend them to friends and family.
