Moldova ranked first in Europe in the rating of the best destinations for real estate investment in 2025
The Moldovan Investment Agency reported this, noting that this follows from a recent study conducted by the British insurance company William Russell. The report examined all factors to determine the best places to invest in real estate in Europe, identifying countries with the highest rental yields and the most favorable property taxes that can offer the best financial return on real estate investments. Key elements of real estate investment were examined in detail, including property tax rates, rental income tax, and gross rental income. The results showed that the best European countries for real estate investment in 2025 are located in Central and Eastern Europe, with Moldova leading the ranking. Our country received the highest score in the William Russell study. The study describes Moldova as “an emerging, high-yield market for early, risk-tolerant real estate investors.” It is emphasized that the associated costs of buying real estate in Moldova are low, at a maximum of 2.8% of the price, and the tax on rental income is 12%, which ensures a high rental yield rating. Moldova received a high rating thanks to its capital city, Chisinau, which has seen steady development in infrastructure, hospitality, and business in recent years. This, combined with growth in tourism driven by the country's wine industry and cultural heritage, offers opportunities for short-term rentals. Lithuania ranks second in Europe in the ranking of the best destinations for real estate investment in 2025, followed by North Macedonia in third place. Further down the ranking are Andorra, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Latvia, Ireland, Iceland, Poland, Estonia, Romania, Croatia, Slovakia, Norway, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, Slovenia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, and Cyprus. // 29.04.2025 — InfoMarket
