Buying property in Italy

Broaden your horizon



The Italian property market is changing. Until recently the vast majority of people looking for property in Italy focussed only on Tuscany. However, recently property searchers have expanded their focus to other splendid Italian regions as well.

Tuscany still is the all-time favourite in terms of international Italian property transactions. This is hardly surprising as this beautiful Italian region reflects what people have in mind when thinking about Italy. It is only recently that the amount of people broadening their horizon and looking at other beautiful regions in Italy is on the rise.

The most popular regions, apart from Tuscany, are Umbria and Lombardy. Umbria is a beautiful region located in the centre of Italy offering sloping landscapes comparable with those of Tuscany. A big advantage is that the property prices are obviously lower in Umbria enabling you to buy similar property in similar surroundings at a lower price. In other words, Umbria provides property with better value for your money.

Lombardy is located more north and is more mountainous, attracting people that love to hike or enjoy the beautiful mountain lakes such as the Como Lake. Many properties are located on the shore, offering stunning views.

When interested in buying property in Italy, the possibilities are endless. Luckily there is Internet to help you out. Many real estate companies assisting your Italian search have found their way online. Apart from providing information, they will help you in the actual purchase of the property. Internet offers many good opportunities for those who are interested in a general orientation of the Italian property market as well as for people needing assistance during the process of buying property.

Multiple internationally operating financial institutions have also become aware of the increasing number of international property transactions and especially the transactions involving Italian property. These financial institutions are offering mortgages financing up to 75% to 80% of the value of the Italian property. This makes the Italian property market more accessible. Even more so as multiple insurance companies have developed insurances for those choosing to buy property abroad.
