Commercial Property in Bulgaria. Buy a Hotel, Restaurant, Office

Buying commercial property in Bulgaria means investing well and getting the chance to grow your capital. You can profitably buy a hotel, restaurant, shop or petrol station in Bulgaria. Guest houses, cafés and offices in Varna, Burgas, Nessebar and other resort towns can also be acquired affordably.

Commercial Property in Bulgaria

In Bulgaria's tourist zone — which can safely be said to cover the whole Bulgarian Black Sea coast — properties related to tourist services are hugely popular.  
We recommend looking at properties such as:

• Hotels. On sale are magnificent hotel complexes with pools, relaxation areas and playgrounds. Stylish hotels stand out with developed infrastructure and excellent locations. There are also affordable mini-hotels with a small number of beds. In resort towns, villages and locations near natural or archaeological attractions, family guest houses are for sale. Many are designed in the style of traditional Bulgarian architecture. They cost little but bring their owners stable income.
• Restaurants, cafés, bars. Upmarket restaurants where you can enjoy excellent cuisine from top chefs and organise events have always been in demand. This is an excellent investment that brings income under any circumstances. Well-known venues operate year-round. Less famous establishments located at seaside resorts are usually open in summer. Bulgaria's popular snack bars offer traditional pastries, salads and burgers. 
• Nightclubs. In Varna, Burgas and Nessebar, discos and clubs generate year-round income for their owners. In small coastal towns, venues are mothballed for winter. 
• SPA salons and fitness centres. These are in demand in any town. Prices depend on the services provided and popularity. Tourists are attracted to complexes with sports halls, massage rooms, mud therapy and saunas.
• Supermarkets and shops. With the right product range and advertising, these business properties will make their owner wealthy. No client can walk past a small fruit-and-vegetable stall, a coquettish souvenir shop or a magnificent boutique.

In towns and suburbs you can buy a petrol station, factory or advertising production company.  

Where to Buy Commercial Property in Bulgaria

Business location is an important factor in developing your enterprise. Before searching for property, we recommend clearly defining the specifics of the business and the customers you'll target. 

If your main clientele will be tourists, pay attention to resort towns. Nessebar, Sveti Vlas, Elenite, Albena, Kavarna, Sozopol, Pomorie and Sunny Beach always have plenty of guests and visitors in summer. 

Businesses focused on production and daily customer service are easier to develop in larger cities. Restaurants and hotels located in central Burgas and along the coast bring high income at any time of year. Small cafés in the sea park area are popular. In Varna, a successful business can be organised in the centre, on the pedestrian street, next to attractions.

Regardless of the business sector and main clientele, commercial property in Burgas, Varna, Nessebar and Sozopol will always bring high income. 

Commercial Property Prices in Bulgaria

When buying apartments in different locations, you can rely on some average level. For commercial property, no such rule exists. Prices vary significantly.

However, we can derive a few patterns:

• Established hotels, bars and restaurants with regular clientele cost more. Regardless of price, they sell faster than their less well-known competitors.
• Location has a huge influence. Venues located on central pedestrian streets, near the sea and with views of its endless expanses, are more expensive.
• Infrastructure, refurbishment and furnishing affect prices. Hotels with clean grounds, well-maintained pools and playgrounds sell for more. Restaurants with a children's room are also highly valued.

The first two factors are hard to argue with — clients want to relax and enjoy food in the centre or by the sea. They listen to reviews, read them online, choose well-known places. However, when buying affordable commercial property without furnishings or refurbishment, you get the chance to fit out a restaurant, shop or hotel in your own taste and style. Small investments allow you to compete after the business launch.
