Venice is one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Buying a home here is the dream of many, but to transform this dream into a conscious and safe choice, it is essential to rely on an expert guide.
My role, as a property finder, is precisely this: to be your reference on site, select verified properties, save you time and avoid unpleasant surprises. Here are the key tips for those who want to buy a home in Venice – with my support at your side, step by step.
- Let’s define your objective together
First of all, clarify why you want to buy in Venice:
Main residence
Second holiday home
Real estate investment
This choice will influence area, type, budget and perspective. My job is to help you transform a desire into a concrete project.
- Choose the right sestiere
Venice is divided into six sestieri, each with a distinct identity:
San Marco: artistic and touristic heart
Dorsoduro: bohemian atmosphere and museums
Cannaregio: authentic and lively, loved by those looking for the “real Venice”
Castello: quieter and more residential
Santa Croce and San Polo: central, but less chaotic
I will help you choose the area that best suits your lifestyle and needs.
- Features to evaluate in a Venetian property
Not all properties in Venice are the same. Some aspects to consider carefully (and that I check with my experts):
Height of the floor (especially for high water!)
Exposure to light
View (canals, squares, courtyards…)
Structural conditions and systems
Presence of outdoor spaces: a terrace in Venice is a real luxury
- Budget: more than just a price
Buying in Venice means considering:
Price of the property
Taxes, notary, translations (if you are a foreigner)
Renovations (if necessary)
Condominium and maintenance costs
I will help you evaluate each item of expenditure with transparency, thanks to the collaboration with tax experts and lawyers who are experts in international sales.
- Document checks: I’ll take care of it
One of my most important tasks is to check all the documentation before offering you a property: floor plans, cadastral compliance, absence of constraints or mortgages.
I work with a lawyer specialized in real estate law and a trusted surveyor to guarantee you maximum peace of mind. - Experience Venice with an Experience Trip
Do you want to visit Venice before choosing?
I will organize a personalized Experience Trip for you:
stays in selected properties, guided tours in the districts, meetings with tax and legal experts, and of course tours of the selected homes.
Because buying a home in Italy must also be an experience to be lived.
