Investor Residency Estonia into EU Invest to TALLINN
1) Advantages of Property Investment in Estonia -
Rapid economic growth, low inflation, low levels of unemployment and wage increases are advantageous factors to invest property in Estonia.
- low interest rates of mortgage rate for local Estonian people
- rapid wage increases
- strong economic growth with low inflation
- huge foreign demand for property, especially from other Europeans
In Tallin centre, a new flat (50m2) can still be bought for approx EUR 80,000
Approx. capital appreciation of 12% per annum. Over the past 10 years, prices have risen consistently by, on average, 10 - 15% per annum
(This is in line with national figures released by Statistics Estonia. The average price of Estonian dwellings rose nationally by 10.66% (9.25% inflation-adjusted) in 2016, to €1,148 per sq. m..
Apartments in the city centre are renting well, yielding some 6-8% per annum)
Estonia receives huge amounts of foreign investment, particularly from neighbouring Finnish investors. GDP growth rates have stabilised and are expected to average 7% per annum. Assuming this is the case, over a 5 year period, the country’s economy is likely to grow by a significant 40%. This, in turn, should have a positive effect on property price growth over time during 202-2007 and 30% during 2013-2016.
2) Taxes are high 21% in Estonia
Rental Income: Nonresident individuals are liable to pay 21% withholding tax on their gross income.
