Italian Property
People have long associated Italian property with style and sophistication, viewing purchasing Italian property as an opportunity to indulge in Italy’s sense of romance and culture.
Buying Italian property
When buying Italian property it is very easy to let the heart rule the head. Many people dream of owning an old run down barn or farmhouse and restoring it without fully realising what the true implications are.
Italian property can be broadly split into three categories: restoration – this type of period property typically requires a lot of work; renovation – whilst an older property it does not require quite as much work, and finally new build and off-plan property which is rapidly growing in popularity.
Italian Off plan property
Off-plan Italian property, whilst new, is built in a style that is in keeping with the character of the area. Apart from the elimination of costly structural and planning problems associated with older period property, off-plan Italian property allows you to pay only a small deposit whilst the property is being built, whilst benefiting from 100% of the capital gain. Whether you purchase an Italian off-plan property for lifestyle or investment reasons, Italian off-plan properties allow you to know your costs at the outset, safe in the knowledge that there are no financial black holes
Italian Investment property
Fractional Ownership of Italian property allows you to combine the best of both worlds; all the charm of an owning a freehold older period property, without the problems associated with renovation. This freehold form of Italian property allows rental income and capital appreciation to be gained.
We recommend either buying a new build or off-plan Italian property, which may have the appearance of a more classic building, or alternatively investing in an old but fully restored property such as a fractional ownership property.
