Italian Property Checklist
Knowing exactly where you stand before you view properties, you increase your chance of finding the right property first time and avoiding wasted trips and the expense of repeat visits and false starts.
We provide an independent and professional pre-purchase property background check service. That way, you can avoid problems such as buying a property with shared title deeds, other legal and financial complications, structural or planning permission issues.
We also provide a pre-sales property background check service for owners preparing to put Italian property on the real estate market. Having all the legal and structural details as part of your property sales package offers vendors a competitive advantage when promoting property for sale.

This is a very complex area and because every individual’s case is different, you should seek advice and guidance from your lawyer and accountant.
Foreigners wishing to obtain an elective residence visa will have to provide documentary proof that they purchased or rented a property, where they will be resident. In addition, proof of adequate financial resources will be required.

In conferring a Limited Power of Attorney, “Procura Speciale” in Italian, you give very specific tasks and or limited powers to an appointed agent. You should be extremely careful about who you chose as your agent.
You are delegating the management of your legal and financial affairs to someone else. Hence, it is extremely important that you entrust these matters to a reliable and competent person, preferably a professional.
Appointing someone who does not have enough experience or with whom you might have a conflict of interests is highly inadvisable.
If, for instance, you are purchasing a property in Italy but, cannot be in Italy on completion day when the deed of sale needs to be signed, you can bestow a Power of Attorney on someone to sign the deed of sale on your behalf.
