Living or owning an apartment or house in Venice may seem like a pipe-dream to most of us, it is after all exorbitantly expensive and dramatically less value for money than anywhere else in the country. Despite this though, many people do indeed own, or aim to own, property in the city with small habitats selling for huge prices as demand outstrips supply and people, especially wealth foreigners, look for the ideal holiday home.

There are estate agencies both in Italy, Venice itself and abroad to help you find your ideal home.

Check out the opportunities for purchase at www.veniceagency.com. This real estate agency is based in the city and has wide-ranging properties to view from small apartments to luxurious premises in stunning palazzo’s overlooking the Grand Canal.

Did you Know?!?

Apartments in Venice are unlikely to be priced below £350,000/US$700,000 generally. This is for the cheapest, smallest investments and is far in excess of anywhere else in Italy for similar fare.
