Sicily offers a wide variety of
cultures, historical sites and breathtaking scenery. From rugged
mountain ranges to lush forests, from ancient olive groves to
golden sandy beaches, Sicily offers a multitude of contrasting
ever changing landscapes. With its own incomparable style of
cuisine, Sicilian food offers a unique blend of flavours and
aromas, famous the world over. Experience the delights of fresh
seafood, mouth-watering Sicilian sweet desserts and light crisp
wines, whilst relaxing in one of its many cafes and restaurants.
Sicily is a relatively new
destination to come onto the radar of overseas property
investors. The island offers some fantastic investment
opportunities whatever your reason for investing. With prices
currently approximately 20-25% less than mainland Italy, and
capital growth estimated at 15-20%, it offers affordable
prices, in conjunction with the added security of the already
well-established Italian property market. Sicily is due to
receive substantial EU funding via the
European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
through until 2013,
improving infrastructure and development.
Indicators of
positive steps being taken to bring Sicily onto the
international map, include recent large scale investment in
airports, to upgrade facilities to cope with an increase in
passenger numbers, and with the new government fully in place ,
construction of the bridge joining the island to the mainland is
again back on the agenda.. Tourism figures have
shown a steady year on year increase opening up opportunities
for the buy to let investor, beneficial inheritance and capital
gains taxation schemes make it a wise choice.
With a truly relaxed style of
living, a haven of tranquillity, it’s a world away from the
hustle and bustle of its European neighbours. At Propertyline
International, we have a wide selection of properties, ranging
from secluded farmhouses ready for restoration, apartments,
townhouses and land for development. With prices from as low as
20,000 sterling this could be the opportunity you have been
waiting for.
