Hotels Properties For Sale
Often such hotels properties are sold furnished and ready for new guests. From the smallest mountain chalet, popular with skiers and hikers, to the large hotel resort set amid its own estate, there is a hotel property or hotel for sale to suit every taste and budget.
A letting property or hotel for sale can offer a guaranteed income for their new life amid the spectacular landscapes, rich culture and relaxation of sunnier climes.
A lot of buyers, however, choose to purchase a hotel for sale smaller scale or a property with easy tourist letting potential.
At the other end of the scale, purchasing a large hotel for sale can be both satisfying and financially rewarding. Often a large hotel for sale will be an established business with a proven income, and will already be fully staffed and with regular guests, whether individuals or via tour operators. As such, this type of hotel for sale can be run as hands-on, or hands-off, as required; as competent managers are often already employed by the previous owners.
Almost all hotels properties have the potential to be rented to holidaymakers either in their entirety, or on a per room basis. Finding tourists that want to stay in the area is not as daunting a task as it first seems, as, especially in the more popular tourist destinations, management companies that arrange everything from finding guests to cleaning and maintaining the property are easy to find.
Types of Hotel For Sale
A hotel for sale can range from the smaller guest houses, with one or more bedrooms to let, to grand urban or rural hotels with a great many bedrooms. The type of hotel for sale that is chosen is largely down to individual preference, as there is often a wide choice throughout Europe and beyond. The smaller B&B style hotel for sale allows the buyer to be more involved with the day to day running of the business, and also to more carefully select the desired type of guest. While it is quite possible to employ staff to run the business side, this type of hotel for sale does not appeal to all buyers due to the unavoidable consequences of taking paying guests into what is often also the home. As the number of guest bedrooms and the size of the hotel for sale increase, often so does the ability to keep the paying guests separate from the living accommodation. This allows buyers of the larger hotel for sale greater flexibility. Buyers who choose to live on-site to enjoy the spectacular landscapes of their chosen area are often delighted by the standard of attached accommodation. This may range from a separate suite of rooms or an apartment, to a nearby property. For those that choose to buy a hotel for sale as a purely financial opportunity, any attached accommodation is often let to an employed manager.
As with any commercial property, the financial turnover is often reflected in the price of the hotel for sale.
A hotel for sale with a good annual turnover and predicted growth is always going to have a higher purchase price than an undeveloped property or one that needs a financial stimulus to turn the business around. However, in some European destinations where tourism is growing, but not yet established, there are still some bargains to be found. When a hotel for sale has an attached business such as a bar or restaurant, which increases the turnover, often provide an income from locals when the hotel is less profitable out of season. With any hotel for sale that specifically caters for holidaymakers, it is important to remember that there are marked seasonal fluctuations in visitor numbers, and out of season any hotel for sale is instantly transformed into a spacious retreat from which to enjoy the milder weather and the natural beauty of the area.
With so many beautiful locations boasting a fabulously sunny climate year round, specific legislation regarding buying a hotel for sale is dependent on the country of choice. Often buying a commercial property or hotel property abroad is no more problematic than buying at home. While advice should always be sought prior to committing to a purchase, with the correct legal support, buying a business abroad can be fairly straightforward in many European countries. With the correct legal advice, this is usually a fairly simple process.
Buying a hotel for sale whether as an investment, a business to run from a distance, or as a means of income while enjoying a relaxed lifestyle in the sun, is always a rewarding experience, and, whatever your needs, large or small, we will be happy to find you the perfect hotel for sale in the country of your choice.

Building Capacity for Tourist Facilities located beyond city limits
1. BUILDING RATIO
The building capacity for tourist facilities (hotels) is specified as follows:
a) The building ratio for plots of up to 50,000 m2 is 0.2
For example: on a plot of 40,000 m2 × 0.2 (building ratio) = Permitted building area of 8,000 m2
b) The building ratio for plots of up to 100,000 m2 is: 0.2 for the first 50,000 m2 and 0.15 for the remaining 50,000 m2
For example: on a plot of 80,000 m2 the permitted building area is 14,500 m2
50,000 m2 plot × 0.2 (building ratio) = Permitted building area 10,000 m2
30,000 ė2 plot × 0.15 (building ratio) = permitted building area 4,500 m2
c) For plots larger than 100,000 m2 the building ratio is the same as in case b for the first 100,000 m2 and for the remaining m2 is 0.10
For example: on a plot of 180,000 m2 the permitted building area is 25,500 m2
50,000 m2 plot × 0.2 (building ratio) = permitted building area 10,000 m2
50,000 m2 plot × 0.15 (building ratio) = permitted building area 7,500 m2
80,000 m2 plot × 0.10 (building ratio) = permitted building area 8,000 m2
2. COVERAGE RATIO
The maximum coverage ratio of a plot is 20%
For example: on a plot which is 180,000 m2, the maximum permitted building area for the ground floor is 25,500 m2. That is:
180,000 m2 plot × 20% coverage ratio = 36,000 m2 This would be the maximum permitted building area for the ground floor. But, due to the fact that the maximum permitted building area based on the building ratio is 25,500 m2 (paragraph 1c), the permitted building area for the ground floor can not exceed the limit of 25,500 m2
If the construction company builds less than 25,500 m2 in the ground floor, the rest can be used to build other floors
3. BUILDING HEIGHT
The maximum permitted building height is 10.50 metres under certain conditions.
4. SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
The maximum permitted building area is 4,000 m2. One can exceed the maximum permitted building area of 4,000 m2 on the condition that a land concession will be made to the municipality without claiming any compensation, as follows:
a) For building up to 4,000 m2 no land concession must be made.
b) For building from 4,000 m2 to 10,000 m2 the land concession is equal to the built area which exceeds the 4,000 m2 limit.
For example: We wish to build 8,000 m2. The land concession to the municipality will be 4,000 m2
c) For building from 10,000 m2 to 17,500 m2 the land concession for the first 10,000 m2 is the same as in the previous case (paragraph 4b) and for the remaining m2, the land concession is equal to the built area which exceeds the 10,000 m2 limit plus 50%
For example: We wish to build 17,500 m2. The land concession to the municipality will be 17,250 m2
For the first 10,000 ė2 built, the land concession will be 6,000 m2
For the remaining 7,500 m2 built, the land concession will be 11,250 m2
d) For building larger than 17,500 m2, the land concession for the first 17,500 m2 is the same as in the previous case (paragraph 4c) and for the remaining m2, the land concession is equal to the double of the built area which exceeds the limit of 17,500 m2 plus 50%
For example: We wish to build 25,000 m2. The land concession will be 39,750 m2
For the first 17,500 m2 built, the land concession will be 17,250 m2
For the remaining 7,500 m2 built, the land concession will be 22,500 m2
e) The building ratio and the coverage ratio are calculated for the whole plot, prior to the land concession to the municipality. Under no circumstances is the sale of the plot acquired by the municipality permitted.
i) If the owner wishes, he can deposit an amount of money to the municipality instead of making a land concession. By doing this, the owner withholds the particular piece of land.
f) Moreover, the building ratio for special constructions can be raised.
