35-year-old Rob Davies, from the West Coast of Scotland, spent £3,000 on a six-bedroom house in Bulgaria, tired of the UK housing crisis.

Rob bought the neglected estate after spotting it on eBay. And he revealed his decision to make such a bid as he couldn't get on the property ladder in his local area.

He revealed that his decision to buy the property in Golyamo Kruszewo, which is 20 miles north of the Turkish border, was "completely accidental", reports the Mirror.
