Checklist for buying property in Italy
If you want to buy a property in Italy, it is advisable to check a few important points in advance. Here is a brief checklist to ensure that nothing important is overlooked when buying a property in Italy:
Verify proof of ownership
Check if the seller is registered as the owner in the real estate register and if the property is free of mortgages or other encumbrances.
Ensure building permit
Make sure that valid building permits are in place for the property (and any renovations) and that all building requirements have been met.
Clarify existing leases or pre-purchase rights
Find out if there are currently tenants living in the property and if they have a statutory right of first refusal. When it comes to agricultural land, neighboring rights should also be taken into consideration.
Consider tax burdens and additional costs
In addition to the purchase price, factor in the additional costs of the purchase – land transfer tax or IVA, notary fees, brokerage fees, translation costs, and ongoing costs (property tax, municipal taxes, maintenance).
Clarify financing options
