Investor appetite for Italian property returned this summer. The country re-entered the top five most popular destinations on TheMoveChannel.com in August 2016, according to the portal's latest Top of the Props report, climbing four places to steal the coveted third spot.
Italy accounted for 3.34 per cent of all enquiries last month, up from 2.37 per cent in July, enough to see the country leapfrog Portugal, France and the UAE to become the third most sought-after destination for foreign buyers. August's rise marks the second month of growing interest in a row, after Italy climbed one place in the rankings in July. In real terms, enquiries for Italian property surged 40 per cent in August month-on-month.
