No mortgage in the UK: bought a farm in Bulgaria, moved the family and have no regrets - for how much?

The £300,000 they would have had to pay on their UK mortgage.

They ran into a bit of trouble when the Covid-19 pandemic started and were unable to visit their property until May 2021. When they were finally ready to move in June 2022, Jordan and Lewis informed their family of the move, sold most of their possessions and packed into a caravan. The couple say their quality of life has improved as they have more time to spend with their children and each other.

Although none of their relatives were sure about the decision, the couple have never once regretted their choice. Jordan revealed: "They feel like we suddenly announced our plans to them, but we've had things in place for a long time''Scheduled.

The couple explained that they sold most of their possessions to get to Bulgaria, which involved taking a ferry from Bournemouth and hours of travel - 20 days in total. Since then they have been carrying out all the renovations themselves, spending around £5,000. Lewis aims to complete the whole project in ten years. He said: "We're doing really well.
