Where to buy property in Florence

Property buyers, as well as hoards of tourists, find Florence one of the most admired historic cities in the world. With untold art treasures, UNESCO World Heritage status and at the heart of one of the most desirable areas in Tuscany, it offers unequalled treasures to anyone looking for a property for sale in Florence, to relocate to or as an investment.

A property in Florence is not going to be cheap, with demand outstripping supply in one of the most idyllic of Italian destinations. On the plus side, those looking for rental returns from their property in Florence have a huge student population and year-round tourism providing great potential letting opportunities to offset the high asking price.

Its protected status means that there is no new-build property in Florence city itself, though there are some refurbishments and conversions available. Overseas buyers of property in Florence are unlikely to look to the suburbs where property is cheaper and lacks the quality and appeal of the Renaissance quarters.

Though unlikely to offer anything to a property buyer on a budget, there is a broad range of properties in Florence on the market, from small apartments to townhouses and family homes. The larger properties in Florence will necessitate digging deep into your pockets, but with a stable, steadily-appreciating property market, a property in Florence should prove an excellent investment over time.
