Guide to Buying a Mobile Home in Italy
The Italian Property Market
An increasing number of foreigners have taken to buying property in Italy over
the course of the past fifteen years. The increase in real estate purchases in Italy
by overseas buyers really took off following the integration of Italy into the EU.
With the advent of the European Union, more and more foreign nationals began buying
different types of real estate within Italy. This included commercial, residential,
holiday and mobile homes.
The vast majority of foreign nationals who have taken to buying and owning rproperty
in Italy are from within one or another of the European Union nations. With that
said, British investors have been particularly active in buying and investing in
property in Italy over the past five to ten years.
The prime property purchases in Italy in recent years have been concentrated fairly
heavily in rural regions of the country like Tuscany, Abruzzo and Calabria.
Buying Mobile Homes in Italy
Mobile homes and caravans offer an excellent and versatile method of buying
property in Italy. A cheap and easy way of climbing onto the property ladder in
Italy, mobile homes offer the buyer the freedom to move around the country and take
their home with them.
There are many residential and holiday parks around Italy offering short and long
term stays. Certain mobile home parks in Italy can offer similar facilties to other
European parks typically including gas, electricity, water and even internet connectivity.
Buying a Mobile Home in Italy
The actual process of buying a mobile home to live in in Italy is fairly straightforward
and is not restricted as much as buying bricks and mortar.
Most mobile home parks and caravan sites will allow you to rent a pitch from them
for an anual fee from the outset. There are very few if any remaining freehold plots
left in Italy that will allow you to actually own the plot of land that your mobile
is sited on - you will have to buy your own land and apply for the relative planning
for this.
As with all purchases make sure that you have a contract written up with the property
details, what's included and what is not. Also ensure that you talk direct with
the mobile home park owners - that they are happy with you buying the mobile home
or caravan and remaining on the site. Are there any restriction regarding age and
condition of the units - these are all questions you need to ask the park owners
before agreeing to buy.
