Investing in Italy: convenience is green
Never before in recent years has the interest of investors to buy a house in Italy increased,
because of the European crisis that puts the owners in a position to devalue the houses in the face of an immediate gain.
Real estate fever has developed in parallel with that of building new homes from scratch.
Thanks to the investments of foreign creditors (especially the countries of Northern Europe) in Italy about 8 billion euros have arrived for residential development and, according to statistical data, are destined to increase at least until 2020.
The interest in the real estate sector is also associated with the environment, as there have been many new homes built in a green manner with zero environmental impact.
The wooden constructions (just to give an example) are the most popular in this period. Suffice it to say that the masonry residential construction has suffered a decline for the benefit of green buildings increased by 8%.
Although Italy has not adopted a genuine national energy strategy, the government has the greatest interest in improving efficiency in the construction sector.
This eco-friendly sensitivity has led most Italian companies to convert their production lines to increase market demand, causing a collapse in non-green housing prices (but still an object of interest for hypothetical buyers) and increasing ( but always in a limited way) those for new buildings.
What are the prices of new homes?
For ecological houses the starting prices are included in a range that varies from 1,300 to 1,600 euros per square meter. True convenience is in the wood. The initially high cost of a green house can be added to in just five years from the date of purchase. This is because the reduction in consumption of an environmentally friendly house is guaranteed, up to a saving of 40% compared to standard homes.
Italian legislation also helps. At the beginning of the year the regulations for the simplification of the permit permits and building permits have come into force with the possibility of requesting 70% (exceeding the previous 50% threshold).
Therefore, although there has been a rise in prices for new generation properties, the latter will undoubtedly bring to the investor a reduction in long-term costs.
