Monaco property market boom
Country Life International's special Monaco focus out next week takes a look at the Principality's hotter than ever property market


There's a property currently for sale in Monaco with an asking price rumoured to be in the region of 170 million (approximately £135 m) and, unlike asking prices in the UK which are largely being ignored, prices in the Principality are expected to be met.
In Country Life International's summer edition, which is out on May 21, we explore the market to find out why it's 'suffering' from a supply rather than credit crunch. Competition to secure real estate in Monaco, and all the lifestyle and fiscal benefits that come with it, has sent demand sky rocketing. Prices per square metre are currently surpassing all set records.
One property on the market is a duplex penthouse on the market with Julie Alejo of EIP (+33 625 56 01 16). Ideal, according to Mrs Alejo, for 'discerning buyers', the apartment has a terrace with 180° views of the Mediterranean and Monaco.

It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
