One of the most important steps in the process is finding a reliable real estate agent who can guide you through the buying process. It’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure that you’re working with an experienced and knowledgeable professional.

Questions to Ask a Real Estate Agent

How long have you been working in the real estate industry? The experience is a crucial factor when choosing a real estate agent.

If you’re working with a new agent, ensure that they have a mentor or an experienced team to guide them.
What type of properties do you specialize in? Real estate agents usually specialize in certain types of properties, such as residential, commercial, or luxury properties. It’s essential to work with an agent who specializes in the type of property you’re interested in buying. This will ensure that they have in-depth knowledge of the market and can provide you with the best options.

Special tax regimes in Italy

Due to its history, culture, geography, cuisine, and quality of life, Italy is one of the most popular places in the world to live. Italian taxes, on the other hand, are a common factor that causes many people to pass on the relocation.

When you permanently move to Italy, you will be considered an Italian resident and will be required to pay taxes on your worldwide income. However, there are two favorable special fiscal regimes that can make the move more appealing: “Flat Tax for Wealthy Foreigners (HNWI) new residents” and “Inbound workers regime”.

High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) are typically discouraged from changing their tax domicile to Italy because doing so would have a negative impact on their personal wealth. Italian income tax rates are among the highest in the OECD and, in order to address this issue, the Italian government in 2017 implemented a Flat Tax, a new tax structure designed specifically for new citizens of Italy.

To qualify, you must have not been resident in Italy for 9 of the last 10 years and meet residency requirements. HNWI new residents are required to pay a lump sum of €100,000 on all foreign income and €25,000 for relatives. This does not include incomes generated in Italy and must be paid on June 30th of each year.

The Real Estate Market in Liguria in 2022: A Look at the Performance and Trends

The Real Estate Market in Liguria in 2022: A Look at the Performance and Trends

The real estate market in West Liguria, Italy, saw a significant surge in demand and growth in the year 2022. The region, famous for its scenic coastline, stunning views and rich cultural heritage, has long been a popular destination for both domestic and international buyers. The market has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, but in 2022, it reached new heights.

According to the Tax and Revenue Agency, the number of homes sold in the region increased by 13% in 2022 compared to the previous year. This growth was largely driven by an increase in demand from foreign buyers, particularly from France, Germany, Scandinavia and USA. These buyers were attracted by the region’s excellent quality of life, favourable climate and proximity to an International airport.

The average price of homes in Liguria also saw a significant increase in 2022, rising by 7% compared to the previous year. This was driven by a combination of factors, including a shortage of available properties, increased demand from buyers, and rising costs for building materials. Despite these increases, prices in the region still remain relatively affordable compared to the neighbouring French Riviera, making it a better option for many buyers.
