What the Experts Say
“Square metre value will depend on the property itself (garden, light, possibility of a swimming pool, state of repair, etc.), its location and the owner’s need to sell, as well as of course the latest sales of similar properties. There are quite a few available properties in need of renovation with huge potential and the price range goes from €200,000 to €6 million.”
