The sale of real estate in Italy is regulated in detail in accordance with the current legislation of the country. The real estate market continues to be steadily growing in Europe. Foreign investors are interested in Italian real estate (the country ranks fifth in the world in terms of popularity among foreign buyers considering buying a second home) and citizens of the country as well, and they often purchase new buildings at the initial stage of construction. Domestic demand is stimulated by relatively low mortgage interest rates.

New residential complexes are being built using modern technologies in attractive resort regions, in large cities (Rome, Milan), and are handed over on time. Customer reviews confirm that the primary residential property in Italy complies with European building standards.

Housing in old, well-repaired stone buildings in historical locations, as well as on the coast, is most valued.

Investing in commercial fund objects located in tourist areas is a very profitable investment.
