 Welcome to Calabria – The most Southerly region of main land Italy. A region equally famous for its hospitality, scenic beauty and growing popularity as the last truly emerging property market in Western Europe.
A popularity in no small part due to low entry prices and a cost of living which is still up to three times cheaper when compared with the more established countries of Western Europe. Strict Italian laws governing - the licensing of - all new build developments, bank guarantee bonds which provide 100 % security on monies invested and amongst the lowest crime rates in Europe. Making it your dream home from home. More of this later.
Calabria is the narrow peninsula extending into the Mediterranean for three hundred kilometers. It is located at the toe of the "boot" of Italy between the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the Ionian Sea and Gulf of Taranto to the east. It is separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina, where the narrowest point between Capo Peloro in Sicily and Punta Pezzo in Calabria is only 3.2 km.
Key points which help to explain the rising popularity of Calabria.
- Amazing temperate weather of the Mediterranean – the longer summers with temperatures reaching a high of 40 Degrees Celsius.
- 850 Kilometers of coastline which allows mile after mile upon mile of golden sandy beaches.
- A multitude of activities available such as ski/snowboarding in the Sila and Gambarie d’Aspromonte mountains; endless water sports or the new 18 Hole Golf course designed by Jacobson being built next to Brancaleone.
- Calabria is only a two hour direct flight from the UK and low cost airlines are already flying directly from the UK with more routes to follow. There are also charter flights from Russia and other great flight routes.
- One bedroom apartment starting from as little as €69,000.
- 80% Loan To Value mortgages available on all our developments through international banks such as Barclays.
- Low cost of living is still up to three times cheaper when compared with parts of Western Europe such as Spain, France and Portugal.
- House prices in Calabria conservatively expected to grow by between 10-15%; and the growing popularity and increase in tourism will allow a regular rental yields of 8-10% respectively per annum.
- No Inheritance Tax in Italy and after five years there in no Capitals Gains Tax.
- 100% protection on your investment through the use bank bonds as required under Italian Law ensuring the security of your money until you take possession of your property.
- Calabria has amongst the lowest crime rates in Europe as illustrated by the lack of bars on windows which is mandatory in the more popular touristic areas of Western Europe giving peace of mind.
- Strict planning laws which ensure that all new coastal developments are low rise – ground and first floor only - with low density builds. Ensuring there will never be the high rises and claustrophobic feel of more established parts of Spain and Portugal.
- Italian legislation means sustainable developments goals are being pursued through Management and Audit Schemes (EMAS), which invokes the use of more efficient and ‘environmental friendly’ strategies and technologies such as developers being incentivized to build eco friendly green developments and wind turbines and solar panels.
