Europe offers a a wide range of options when it comes to buying for personal use or investing in apartments in Europe.
For Western Europe locations such as Paris, France, London, UK and Monaco are high on the list. In Southern Europe, Barcelona & Madrid in Spain, Lisbon & Cascais in Portugal offer high-quality lifestyle, favorable tax regimes (NHR program), and some residency-by-investment opportunities.
Rome & Milan in Italy attract global buyers with the French Riviera with Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez offer beachfront luxury apartments with high rental potential especially during the peak summer season.
In Central & Eastern Europe Vienna in Austria, Budapest in Hungary and Prague in Czech Republic are becoming more in focus for international investors.
Alpine locations including Switzerland with Zurich, Geneva, Zermatt, St. Moritz offer mountain and lakeside properties sought after by the the elites and investors, plus Austrian Alps with Kitzbühel and Innsbruck are attractive for seasonal rentals and second homes.
Buying or investing in luxury apartments in Europe, in cities like Paris, London, or Rome is viewed as a relatively safe investment, especially as politically and economically European countries are seen as stable.
High demand, often limited supply in popular cities and tourist destinations ensures long-term value retention and strong rental yields, especially in areas such as the French Riviera, Barcelona and Lake Como.
Countries like Portugal, Spain, and Greece offer Golden Visa programs where investing in luxury property can lead to residency or even citizenship, and tax incentives in Monaco, Portugal (NHR), and Switzerland attract high-net-worth individuals.
When finding the right apartment you will expect it be offered in one of two ways, either by the owner who has listed it directly with International Property Directory, or by a real estate agent who is acting on behalf of the Owner who might be a private individual or an investment company.
Apartments come in all shapes and sizes from the studio, the one bedroom apartment, to the 6 plus bedroom apartment suite, which could even be a luxury penthouse apartment overlooking the surroundings offering great views to the renter or perhaps the Owner who may eventually be you.
