Is it possible to buy a flat in Monaco without living there?
Yes, buying a property is not conditional on residence. Applying for a residence permit is a separate process: it requires accommodation, financial resources and a clean criminal record.
Do you have to buy something to get a residence card?
No, a tenancy agreement of at least one year, duly registered, is sufficient proof of accommodation. Buying property is often the preferred option for investing in Monaco and safeguarding your assets. To get started, you can browse our apartments for rent in Monaco.
Studio, three-room flat or penthouse: which flat should you choose?
The choice depends on how you intend to use the property. A studio or a two-room flat is suitable as a second home or a rental investment. A three- or four-room flat is ideal for families. A penthouse or a duplex offers top-floor accommodation, panoramic views and, in some cases, private terraces. The table above sets out the details of each type of property.
Is it a sound investment to buy a flat in Monaco?
Investing in rental property is not the most attractive investment option, as the price per square metre is high at the time of purchase. Although rents remain high, they rarely yield a return of more than 2 per cent.
The appeal of investing in Monaco lies in long-term investment in property, which appreciates significantly in value and increases considerably in value within a few years thanks to a stable economy and political climate.
