Levski V: asking prices in detail
A median apartment in Levski V is advertised at €197,150 and measures around 95 m². Half the market falls in the €158,675–€226,250 band, which is the range most buyers end up shopping in.
The per-square-metre picture: median €1,950, with 50% of listings between €1,753 and €2,255. A 36% spread between the 10th and 90th percentiles means little room for a bargain; prices cluster tightly.
The step from one bedroom to two is the decision most buyers face. One-bedroom (dvustaen) flats ask €140,000 at 70 m²; two-bedroom (tristaen) flats ask €204,192 at 108 m². In rate terms that is €2,069/m² against €1,950/m² — the extra bedroom is cheaper per metre than the first one.
Roughly 55% of what is advertised here sits under €200,000 — and 25% under €150,000. That ratio, more than the median, decides whether Levski V is on your list.

What to verify before you sign in Levski V
Tax base vs. price
Transaction costs on the local median of €197,150 come to roughly €9,463: 2.5% transfer tax, the notary scale, 0.1% registry entry and any commission you are asked to pay.
Ask about the neighbours
Request the building fund balance and the record of recent decisions. Arrears attach to the apartment, not to the seller who ran them up.
Heating and running costs
Running costs vary more than purchase prices in Sofia. Ask what the January bill was, what the building fund charges monthly, and whether hot water comes from the district system.
Off-plan: the rules
Off-plan is 82% of what is advertised here. The protections that matter are milestone-linked payments, a named completion date with penalties, and a clause covering what happens if the specification changes.
What the price does not include
A new flat is rarely habitable at handover. Add €250–400/m² for finishing, €8,000–20,000 for parking, and recompute the price per usable square metre once you know the common-parts coefficient.
The paperwork that matters
Order a fresh skitsa and a property record extract from the Registry Agency, check for mortgages, restitution claims and unpaid common charges, and confirm the seller’s marital consent where it applies.
