Increasingly we hear sellers looking for customers Russian, or Chinese which propose the sale of its luxury property.
But really Chinese and Russians are the panacea for all ills?
We try to make things clear, dispelling some myths!
Certainly in the last 10 years has profoundly changed the landscape of the buyers of luxury properties in Italy and also true that the Russians and Chinese are watching very carefully our country.
Italy represents excellence in the world even from the point of view of real estate, but also has several limitations and shortcomings.
Prices often out of the market and the high taxation of our country do not help, especially when compared with European nations and the world.
But what truly seek Chinese and Russians?
First it should be noted that these are two completely different types of customers and with substantially different requirements.
The Russian prefer the luxury property at sea (preferably with direct access to the beach) and buy basically where his fellow countrymen are already present, in order to create a real community.
The Chinese, however, in cases where buy (often rents) prefers income investments, and commercial premises, hotels or other structures that can guarantee a rental income interesting already in the short term, without preference for locations.
With attractive return it comes to a higher figure at least 8% per year, or what might today guarantees a return to their country.
Moreover, both Chinese and Russians are very attentive to opportunities but at the same time very suspicious, often move carefully and with the support of professional consultants.
Based on the above information we can therefore say that the Chinese capital and Russians in Italy are certainly interesting, but be careful not to think exclusively in these markets, with buyers demanding and with very clear ideas.
If your property does not reflect the requirements described above, also evaluated alternative solutions, by turning to international markets still interesting as those northern Europe and North America especially.
