Buying a Property in Italy: Professional Guidance for Foreign Buyers

Buying a home in Italy can be a dream come true – whether it’s a villa on Lake Como, an apartment in a historic city, or a holiday home by the sea.
However, the process is not always straightforward. Italian bureaucracy, property records, and municipal regulations are often complex, and overlooking key details may lead to costly mistakes.

As an architect with years of professional experience, I offer specialized consultancy for foreign buyers who wish to purchase a property in Italy.

Why You Need Professional Support

Before signing any agreement or committing to a purchase, it is essential to verify:

• Municipal records and building permits (compliance with local regulations).
  
  

• Land registry and cadastral data (ownership, boundaries, possible restrictions).
  
  

• Urban planning and zoning compliance (future limitations or opportunities).
  
  

• Technical and structural conditions of the property.
  
  

These checks are crucial to ensure that the property is legally sound and that you can safely proceed with the purchase before the notary.

My Services

I provide full assistance throughout the buying process:

• Preliminary checks on documents and permits.
  
  

• Liaison with local authorities and professionals.
  
  

• Technical due diligence and verification of cadastral and municipal compliance.
  
  

• Support up to the notary deed (the final act of purchase).
  
  

• Advice and assistance in case of renovation or refurbishment projects.
