Bulgaria has become a top property investment destination for Britons over the last few years and by some measures is catching up with France, according to new claims from a property investment magazine.

Quest Bulgaria, an English language magazine for Bulgarian property investment, cited statistics showing that 8 in 10 overseas buyers in the country originate from the UK or Ireland.

Furthermore, British overseas property investors' passion for Bulgaria appears to differ between different regions of the UK, Easier Property reports.

Chris Goodall, managing director of Quest Bulgaria, commented: "In some regions of Britain, notably the north-west, midlands and Wales, property buyers were even more interested in buying in Bulgaria than France."

He concluded by saying that although Bulgaria "may lack some of the sophistication of France", the low cost but high standard of living and strong property returns make it an attractive option for many.

Earlier this year, Easier Property reported that increasing numbers of European and American investors are looking towards Bulgaria for investment opportunities.
