Monaco Property

Investing in Monaco Property: A Gateway to Prestige and Security by Callaghan Financial Services
Monaco is more than a location - it’s a lifestyle

With its shimmering Mediterranean coastline, world-class infrastructure, zero income tax, and reputation as one of the safest and most luxurious places to live on earth, the Principality offers a unique blend of glamour, financial security, and unmatched exclusivity. At Callaghan Financial Services, we specialise in guiding discerning investors through every stage of acquiring prime property in Monaco - helping you find your dream home that precisely meets your requirements.


Why Invest in Monaco?
Monaco’s property market is among the most sought-after in the world. Although it spans just over 2 square kilometers, this tax haven attracts international high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), business leaders, and celebrities due to its:

  • Tax advantages: Monaco famously levies no income tax on individuals. There’s also no wealth tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax for direct heirs, making it a top destination for wealth preservation.
  • Political stability and safety: Monaco is a sovereign state with a long-standing constitutional monarchy. It boasts one of the highest police-to-resident ratios in the world and near-zero crime rates.
  • High demand and limited supply: These market dynamics ensure long-term capital appreciation, even in times of global uncertainty.
  • World-class amenities: With elite restaurants, luxury boutiques, prestigious schools, and medical care of the highest standard, Monaco offers an unparalleled quality of life.

The Monaco Property Market
Despite global economic fluctuations, Monaco’s real estate market remains robust. In 2024, the average price per square meter exceeded €50,000, with prime residences in sought-after districts such as Monte-Carlo and Larvotto fetching over €100,000/m². Demand continues to outstrip supply — especially for turnkey apartments with sea views, private terraces, or proximity to the Casino de Monte-Carlo and Port Hercules.

While traditional apartments dominate the market, recent years have seen a surge in eco-friendly developments and ultra-luxury penthouses offering private pools, concierge services, and state-of-the-art smart-home technologies.

The new neighborhood of Mareterra - a billion-euro offshore extension of the coastline - is one of the most anticipated developments in Europe, combining environmental sustainability with contemporary Monegasque living. Properties here are expected to command premium prices for years to come.


Residency & Real Estate: Your Path to Monaco Life
Buying a property in Monaco is more than an investment in bricks and mortar - it can also be your gateway to residency.

To become a resident, applicants must provide proof of accommodation. Owning property is the most straightforward and respected route.

Residency requires:
  • Proof of sufficient financial resources.
  • A valid address (rented or owned property).
  • A clean criminal record.
  • Evidence of integration into Monaco life (e.g., utility bills, social or business ties).

Our team works in partnership with trusted legal and administrative advisers who can support you with every step of the residency process, from submitting documentation to opening local bank accounts.

Prime Districts of Monaco
Each quartier in Monaco offers something distinct. Here’s a quick guide to the most sought-after neighborhoods:

Monte-Carlo
The beating heart of Monaco, home to the legendary Casino, Hôtel de Paris, and luxury retail arcades. Apartments here are typically opulent and in high demand.

Fontvieille
This newer district combines residential calm with excellent infrastructure, including a heliport, the Princess Grace Rose Garden, and the Stade Louis II. Perfect for families and professionals seeking both elegance and convenience.

Larvotto
Famous for its beachfront promenade and restaurants. Newly redeveloped, Larvotto offers a relaxed Mediterranean feel and easy access to the Grimaldi Forum and Japanese Gardens.

La Condamine
Nestled around Port Hercules, this is the place for yacht lovers. Buzzing with activity during the Grand Prix, it also offers beautiful old buildings and sea-facing terraces.

Jardin Exotique
Perched above the city with panoramic views, this area is increasingly popular with families seeking quieter living while still remaining close to the action.

Important Considerations
When purchasing property in Monaco, here are a few key aspects to keep in mind:

  • Property prices are quoted in Euros per square metre, and there is usually little room for negotiation in the prime market.
  • Acquisition costs (including registration fees and notary) typically range from 6-7% of the purchase price.
  • Mortgages are available but limited. Many buyers purchase in cash or with structured finance through private banks.
  • Rental income is not taxed in Monaco but may be subject to tax in your home jurisdiction depending on your residency status.
