HOW TO BUY A HOUSE IN ITALY: THE STEPS

Before buying a house, it is useful to obtain as much information as possible about the property and, most importantly, to ensure that you are purchasing from the rightful owner. Additionally, it is important to know what happens if you decide to enter into a preliminary contract (the so-called "compromesso").

Here are the steps:

Check the cadastral and mortgage data, also with the help of the services of the Revenue Agency: It is crucial to verify the official property records.

Sign a preliminary contract: The preliminary contract, also known as the "compromesso," is an agreement between the seller and the buyer in which both parties commit to entering into a subsequent and final sale contract. It is a formal commitment.

Sign a sales contract in the presence of a notary: The transfer of property ownership will only occur upon signing this contract.
