Mortgages Attracts Investment From Abroad

Italy provides an attractive prospect for investors from abroad. According to estimations made by "Scenari immobiliari", 8 percent of residential commerce in Italy is carried out by foreigners citizens.
A figure that could reach 45 million euros by the end of 2017.
Not only are those with foreign citizenship living in Italy (over five million) buying houses, investors are also attracted to Italy.

In 2016 more than half of foreign buyers were from Eastern-Europe, followed by Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese. The low number of Chinese mortgage requests despite Chinese investors being among the largest category of investors is an exceptional case.
The figures come from a survey made by Facile.it and Mutui.it. These websites look in particular at the dispensing of mortgages.
