Property for sale in Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany is an enchanting region of meandering hills, ancient hillside villages, historic renaissance cities with ambient piazzas. Mile after mile of vineyards and olive groves, fields of golden sun-flowers and towering cypress trees. It’s landscapes exude a magical charm, rich in culture and heritage they are bathed in a unique light that has inspired artists for centuries. The warmth and hospitality of the local people and the delicious local cuisine and fine wines are just some of the pleasures that this region has in store for you. Every year we drive thousands of miles to hand pick the properties for our new programme and we have an excellent local knowledge. The only way to appreciate Tuscany fully is to experience it for yourself, and once you do, you will be so enchanted that like most of our clients, you will return time after time.

The Tuscan coast has some of the widest and most immaculate sandy beaches in Italy which are unique in that they are set against a stunning back drop of the marble clad Apuan alps. Italians have enjoyed spending their summer in these elegant resorts since the turn of the century. Beach lovers can spend long sun filled days lazing on an Italian beach, or if a day of sight seeing and shopping appeals more, the Cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence are accessible from the Coast.

THE PROPERTY MARKET:

Tuscany is still the number one choice for many buyers looking for property in Italy. The mere mention of this beautiful region conjures up images of dining ‘al fresco’ whilst gazing out across a tapestry of vineyards and olive groves. The area also promises inflated house prices as an ever increasing number of ex-patriates buy property in the South of Tuscany. This means that more and more property buyers are looking to other areas in Tuscany which offer equally beautiful surroundings at a fraction of the price. Bagni di Lucca is one of these places and it’s proximity to sought after Lucca makes the area an interesting investment opportunity.

The Tuscan market shows little sign of slowing. Prices differ dramatically depending on the area. We estimate that during the last 12 months prices in Bagni di Lucca have increased by about 8 %.

‘Over building’ is not something you need to worry about. The rural character of the area cannot be spoilt nor the strength of your investment diluted due to the strict building guidelines which are in place in Tuscany.

In the current Denver real estate market it is still possible to sell your Denver area home quickly and for top dollar. It can be done if you follow some simple guidelines.

If you find it difficult to impartially evaluate your home you should give considerable weight to what your Realtor advises. Denver Realtors know the market and they understand what it takes for a home to sell. To catch a prospective buyer your home needs to stand out from the crowd.

For your home to stand out you need to understand the home cannot be over priced. You need to have the most attractive $200k home in your Denver neighborhood and not the least attractive $225k home in the area. If you miss on this and over price your Denver home the only thing you will accomplish is to give prospective buyers good reasons to purchase someone else’s home.

Denver real estate that are freshly listed typically get the most excitement from potential buyers and you need to be priced right from the first day you offer your home for sale. You want to be positioned as the clear choice for a home in your price range.

Other things to consider are offering incentives to the Denver home buyers. Things like offering to pay the purchasers closing costs, a credit for decorating or even making the first couple mortgage payments for the purchaser. These are things that could make your home stand out from the crowd because people love incentives.

Take down personal and family pictures or anything that will detract from the buyer imagining living in your home. You want them to feel at home which is hard to do if they are staring at a couple dozen pictures of your family living there.

ong haul flights can really take a lot of energy out of you. The last thing you want to do is hang around the airport any longer than you have to. You want to get to the place you are staying as quickly and as easily as possible.

A good option then is Airport car hire. If you book ahead you will not only save money on the cost of the car hire but you will also avoid any stress or worry about the availability of cars when you land.

At peak times car hire companies occasionally experience a shortage of cars. The summer months bring high demand to this sector. As with airlines, the earlier you book in advance the better your chance of getting a bargain deal.

If you are visiting Ireland then Cork or the rebel county as it is known by locals is a must see. The self proclaimed people’s republic of Cork offers plenty of scope for rental car touring. Cork Airport car hire is a worthwhile option to consider.

Cork is a city of culture with no shortage of music, theatre and film to enjoy. Famous musicians from Cork include Cathal Coughlan, Sean O Hagan and the Sultans of ping.

Known as the “the land of a thousand welcomes”, Ireland is certainly a country which lives up to its billing. The country has a rich varied history with so much to discover for visitors.

The main airport in Ireland is Dublin Airport. With the recent addition of new terminals the airport now caters for more passengers than ever before. Dublin Airport car hire is available and can be waiting for you as soon as you get of your flight if you book ahead.

There is so much to see and do in the surrounding areas of Dublin that a car hire can be ideal when navigating you way through some of the rocky roads around Dublin.

Irelands second largest Airport is Shannon Airport which is situated in the west of Ireland. The Shannon region spreads over many counties in Ireland including Clare, Galway, Tipperary, Offaly and Limerick.

The cliffs of Moher in Clare and Birr Castle in Offaly are highly recommended attractions worth checking out. Shannon is a beautiful region well worth discovering with a Shannon Airport car hire. The views form the cliffs of Moher have to be seen to be believed.

Looking to invest some surplus cash buying a property as a holiday home in Italy well if your can afford to spend more than the average then head to Capri, Forte del Marmi or Portafino. A recent price survey by Italian estate agent conglomerate Tecnocasa, listed the Campanian island as the most expensive seaside resort in Italy, with properties costing up to €14,200 per square metre. The British and Germans head up the top foreign buyers but there has been an increase in requests from Russian clients recently.

Only Tuscany’s Forte dei Marmi and Liguria’s Portofino-neither of which is included in the Tecnocasa report-rival Capri’s pricey primacy. Villas in the heart of the celeb-studded Tuscan resort start from a minimum of €12,200 per square metre and reach up to €14,500, according to the  regional body that monitors prices in the Tuscan province. However when compared to Portofino, the postcard fishing village near Genoa,  prestige homes in the old centre cost start at €18,000 up to €22,000 per square metre according to figures realeased by the Italian Land Registry.

The Northern region of Italy heads the house price chart, with seven of its provinces making it into the top ten list of Italy’s most expensive coastal locations. Varazze, Alassio, Varigotti, Arenzano, Celle Ligure, Santa Margherita Ligure and Finale Ligure all have properties priced between €9,000 and €12,000 per square metre, according to Tecnocasa. Prices are holding up at this level, even though sale times have become longer-Italian entrepreneurs and professionals, and German and British buyers are driving the top end of the market.

However, Italy’s most expensive locations are not necessarily the most active ones. The market is most lively in Calabria, Sardinia and Sicily, reports Tecnocasa. In Calabria, property prices in resorts along the Tyrrhenian coast, in the Cosenza province, went up 5.2% in the second quarter of 2007, with peaks of 6.6% in the mural-covered town of Diamante-home to azure waters and red hot chili peppers-and 7% in pretty Sangineto. Buyers are mostly Italian, however more and more foreign buyers are being tempted by the beautiful coastline and attractive prices.
In Sicily prices rose by an average 1.2% across the island with many of the purchasers come from overseas. Russians, Americans and Northern Europeans are buying around the town of Taormina with its elegant streets where properties can fetch up to €4,000 to €5,000 per square metre.

Sardinia has also seen a rise in prices, which went up by 2.2% across the island. The biggest gain has been in the city of Olbia, up 7.7%, which has markets for both main and second homes. Among the draws attracting buyers to the area is a new marina and surrounding hotels and shopping centre being built at Olbia Mare. Foreigners-English, Germans, and Russians looking for prestige waterside homes-are more present further down the Eastern Sardinian coast, in Villasimius. Properties in or near the village, which counts some of Sardinia’s best beaches, fetch up to €4,000 per square metre.

LEGALITIES - Easy steps to Italian property purchase

Once you have found a property that you would like to purchase be it in Tuscany,    Calabria or any region of Italy then this is what you can expect to happen, in brief, with regard to the legalities:

The first written step in the negotiations is the offer to purchase, by which the buyer will bind himself irrevocably for the period of the validity of the offer to buy the property at a particular price. This offer is normally valid for 14 or 30 days. When the offer has been accepted by the buyer a 10% deposit is paid.

The next stage is the preliminary contract of sale (compromesso). This is the contract by which the interested parties agree in writing on the formalities of the sale, the date by which the completion (il rogito) must be entered into and the name of the Italian notary that will execute the deed. At this stage there is normally another payment of between 20/30%.

The completion ( il rogito) is the definitive passage of the title to the property from the vendor to the buyer by a public document, or by a private contract authenticated by a notary for the purpose of registration.

In the case of purchase of a property from a private citizen, the buyer must pay a registration impost and a land registry tax. If a property is bought from a company, instead of land registry tax IVA (VAT) is normally payable.

Along the Calabrian coastline are beautiful old towns like San Nicola Arcella and Diamante. These old towns with their ‘ centro storico ‘ are a delight to explore, and have great character. Property here is still relatively inexpensive. However these are places on the turn and beautifully renovated houses now sit side by side with old properties in need of renovation. Once totally dependent on fishing but now becoming holiday retreats, they are reminiscent of Port Isaac in Cornwall twenty years ago.

Maratea, Praia-a-Mare and San Nicola Arcella are located in the beautiful Bay of Policastro. Dino Island sits proudly in front of Praia and the surrounding waters are now a marine park, famous for a particular coral reef. Aquatic sports like scuba diving are very popular here and in winter skiing is available in the mountains only half an hour inland.

Around this coastline are many secluded bays and coves, some only reachable by boat and even in the height of summer, relatively quiet. Properties in the small towns like San Nicola Arcella which sits 110mt above the sea have amazing views of this beautiful bay.

Much of the coastline is now fortunately protected from future development. For the price of a two bedroom flat on the Sussex coast it is possible to purchase a villa with spectacular sea views. Although our opinion is not exactly unbiased! We honestly believe thatunrepeatable value is to be found here.

The Southern Italian food, we believe, is second to none. It varies markedly from from region to region and even village to village giving the traveller a gourmet experience. Many of the dishes are steeped in traditional history and use only the freshest ingredients.

And of course, with such an interesting history, eating is never dull! Mushrooms and truffles are an important ingredient in the dishes of Basilicata and the further south one goes, the hotter the food becomes with chillies and peppers featuring in the seasoning in Calabria. Local produce always features prominently and the seafood is outstanding all along the coast.
