Investment Potential
This property of 11 units and surrounding land in a prime tourist zone represents a real
investment opportunity. Tourism is nothing new to Tuscany - people have been
visiting the area for the past 600 years. It is the main industry of the area, and
there is substantial support both from regional and
local entities, and from central government. Furthermore, there is a
possibility that the amount of land
might enable the property to be reclassified as an 'agriturismo', if it were
to be developed agriculturally, allowing substantial tax breaks, though
this would require owner occupancy.
The owner would pass on existing schedules, contacts and contracts.
Below is a table showing the rents of the units for holiday letting. It is
let for a shorter period of the year than most comparable properties. This
is the choice of the present owners, who are selling due to advancing age. I have
presented two scenarios based on the actual weeks let at two comparable
properties in the Chianti/Senese area in 2008. We can recommend a local
letting agency which is skilled at maximizing letting potential, having
contacts all over the world. The owners are wishing to retire in the very
near future, and are therefore willing to accept a price substantially
below its recent valuation of 3.2 million euros. Offers around 2.5 million
euros would almost certainly be acceptable.
Yield
10 of the 11 units are let at present, for a limited season.
