Property is one of the four most common investment practices alongside savings, shares and bonds. In this current financial climate, where savings offer low interest rates and the stock market appears volatile - property is widely considered the most attractive investment option.

We offer a great range of property investment opportunities whether it be for the Buy-to-Let investor, an owner-occupier, a luxury homeowner or first-time buyer. With almost 10 years of market-leading experience, our objective has always been to seek out the best Italian & EU investment opportunities for our loyal customer base and to share our knowledge of the next up-and-coming areas.

What Can Property Offer Investors

With property there are two main ways of making an investment return:

• Income producing – you can earn money by renting out the property
• Capital appreciation – there is the potential to sell for a profit if the property increases in value

Of course, there are many factors to take into consideration in order to make the maximum return on your Italian or EU property investment. Adria Invest has almost 10 years experience doing exactly that. Here we aim to share our knowledge and answer some of the important questions that you may have. If at any point you feel like you need some more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Risks of Property Investment

Naturally, as with any investment opportunity, property investment comes with its own risks. Property prices, rental demand and rental yields can fluctuate, and as such, property investments must be considered as a medium to long-term investment strategy.

It is important that you plan for the future and are aware of associated costs and tax implications, especially if you are considering a Buy-to-Let investment.

Adria Invest Investment for Investors

As a investor, you may have a desired area in mind but there are other factors to take into consideration as well. For instance, you could profit from an off-plan investment, especially if the area you're buying in is undergoing regeneration.  

How Much Will You Have to Spend?

The first thing you need to consider is the cost of your property – and naturally, property prices in key areas of Central City are higher than elsewhere in city or outside of the capital. However, center of city is a highly buoyant property market, and your initial investment is likely to see capital growth over a relatively short time. Other costs you will need to bear in mind include:

• Valuation and survey fees 
• Legal costs plus Value Added Tax (known as VAT) 
• The cost of searches and enquiries of public bodies (to check that the property you’re buying is genuine, legal and not burdened by obligations or limitations)
• Land Registry registration fees 
• Stamp Duty Land Tax
• Value Added Tax (VAT)
