We moved from Bournemouth to Bulgaria because we couldn't afford a UK mortgage - and saved £293k
- 9 months ago
A British family left the UK for Bulgaria after realising they would never be able to buy a home - and saved £293k by snapping up a farm abroad for just £7k.
Lewis Vye, and his wife, Jordan, both 31, left their two-bed rental house in Bournemouth, Dorset, and moved 1,788 miles to Haskovo Province, Bulgaria, in June 2022 - with their two children, Leo, 11, and Fae, two.
Jordan got the idea off a friend of a friend, who told her she had bought a house in the country for just £3k.
After mulling over the idea and constantly checking Rightmove for properties, the pair bought a two-acre plot of land which included a three-bedroom house, a barn and outbuildings for £7k - cheaper than the £300k mortgage they were facing in the UK.
