Buying a house in Italy

The purchase of a home is always an important step in our lives. Just as the sale of a property also carries significant overtones: from investment decisions, to the reordering of assets, to the need for generational change. Whether it be the purchase or the sale of a property, it is not something to be taken lightly.

Indeed, these are extremely complex operations that are full of pitfalls and that cannot be undertaken without the advice of an expert. Are you aware of the rights and obligations of both the vendor and the purchaser? And, above all, do you have the necessary legal knowledge to avoid unpleasant surprises whether you are buying or selling a property?

Precisely to ensure the highest degree of safety and reliability in the purchase of such valuable assets, almost all legal systems in modern countries have given the task of ensuring a satisfactory outcome of the investment to a special legal figure: the notary. A figure of unquestionable professional integrity, absolute impartiality and considerable technical expertise.

The notary, being a third party with respect to both buyer and vendor, guarantees the interests of both, taking upon himself the full, unconditional and, above all, extremely grave responsibility for ensuring a positive conclusion to the conveyance from every point of view.

For that reason he is able to provide all the information that is useful or necessary for the successful conclusion of the transaction.
The notary has the necessary experience and professional capabilities to explain all the rights and obligations of the parties to the conveyance, guaranteeing the protection and complete satisfaction of the interests and expectations of both sides.

It is important, then, to turn to a notary to be informed of the pitfalls, for both buyer and vendor, that may be hidden beneath an (apparently) banal conveyance.

These pitfalls, however improbable it may seem, are present right from the first moment the decision is made to buy or sell.

For example, are you aware of the considerable legal consequences (mostly irrevocable) deriving from a simple signature on a simple purchase or sale proposal?

Do you have any idea of the constraints and obligations that may arise from the signing of a preliminary agreement, even if it is only privately produced?

It is therefore important to take the right first steps in the difficult world of real estate conveyancing. Let your chosen notary guide you: he will be able not only to help you reach your goal satisfactorily and safely, but will also advise you as to the best solutions for taxation purposes.
