Owning a house in the heart of the most beautiful city in the world is a daydream that anyone has had at least once in their life. Are you among the lucky few who can turn such a dream into reality and buy a house in Venice? Well: you have endless possibilities before you, including elegant buildings, sparkling period residences, spectacular designer apartments or traditional pied-à-terre.
These are just some of the proposals we have in store for you, along with some recommendations to keep in mind: because choosing a house is never easy, and buying a house in venice requires even more attention. Let's see together the mistakes not to make.
NEVER HURRY
Choosing without giving yourself time, in the wake of emotions or hasty judgments, is always a risk. And if you want to buy a house in Venice, especially a luxury property, it is a risk that can also be very expensive.
Here are some questions to ask yourself right from the start: are you planning to go and live there? Is it a vacation home or for college kids? Or again, an investment for the purpose of income?
Each of these needs corresponds to different possibilities and paths that must be planned before even starting the search. And remember that our consultants can give you important support from these early stages, so don't hesitate to ask us for help.
DON'T KNOW THE CITY BEFORE CHOOSING
Venice is one of the most famous cities in the world, but this does not mean that it is easy to really get to know it, with a simple visit as a tourist. Each district offers different characteristics and opportunities, and not all of them are suitable for your lifestyle or your needs.
For example, if you love the vitality of tourist cities, full of movement, then it is good to consider houses for sale venice san marco. If proximity to the station or public transport is an important prerogative for you, then you should aim for Cannaregio or the Santa Croce district. For university students or for those aiming for cultural tourism, however, houses for sale in Venice Dorsoduro are the most suitable purchase.
NEGLECT THE VISITS TO THE PROPERTIES
The moment you enter a house for sale for the first time is fundamental: a glance can be enough to fall in love. And from this point of view, there is no doubt that our proposals for those who want to buy a house in Venice are all able to leave you speechless.
But there are always aspects that must be carefully considered, because they can indicate the need for work or future interventions. Among these are, for example, the state of the building, the interior finishes, the fixtures, floors or systems.
True, during this time it can be difficult to personally visit the properties. Fortunately, virtual visits are becoming more and more frequent, and if you choose a trusted intermediary like Engel & Völkers, you can delegate to us an in-depth inspection that will provide you with all the necessary information.
DON'T HAVE A PLAN
In this case we are talking about an economic plan: therefore a clear idea of the spending budget and what is the maximum ceiling that can be reached, including ancillary costs (for example the notary and insurance, both inevitable). This will allow you, on the one hand, to correctly estimate the total expenditure that awaits you, and on the other hand, to manage the negotiation with well-established goals and objectives.
Having an idea of the performance of the Venice real estate market and the prices per square meter of properties can also help you in evaluating the different options for buying a house in Venice. We will always be by your side to provide you with complete advice and also follow you in the negotiation phases.
