Buying bare ownership: what it is and how it works
The advantages of bare ownership
Bare ownership is the best high-income, low-risk investment scheme because it allows you to buy the property at a reduced price compared to the real market value.
Why the price is lower
This reduction is due to the fact that the selling owner will retain the usufruct of the property and will be able to live in it for life, after which the bare ownership will rejoin the usufruct and revert to full ownership of the buyer, with full market value.
So one can buy bare ownership in anticipation of future use, for one's children, and to have a revalued capital.
With reference to this flat, the year of birth of the owner is 1939.
Investment for own use
Bare ownership can be an excellent alternative for those who were thinking of buying a property and renting it out to make an income, because it is as if all the monthly payments were collected from the outset, deducting them from the price and avoiding all the hassles and commitments that a rental could bring over time.
It is also possible to resell the same bare ownership at any time, even after only a few years, taking advantage of the market revaluation combined with that calculated by the bare ownership tables.

State and finishing
This apartment is unique in terms of space, lighting, and authenticity.
The rooms are large and airy and still maintain their original materials and details, which have been accurately renovated, as the coffered ceilings, the frescoes and beautiful floors made of solid wood or with Venetian mosaics.
Pilasters with ionic capital columns and painted marble bands increase the depth of the rooms, whereas scenes of bucolic landscapes and geometric, floral and grotesque patterns enrich the rooms providing authentic and unique elegance.
The current owners have renovated this apartment, which is, therefore, in excellent conditions. However, the kitchen and the bathrooms could be revamped, even if they are perfectly functional.
