We help to buy apartments and houses in Italy

How we work

1. First consultation

During the first free consultation, we identify your needs (what city you plan to live in, what your apartment should look like, its cost and purchase options), explain the procedure for buying real estate in Italy (we analyze the stages step by step), the procedure and conditions for working with us, as well as sources where you can start choosing an apartment for yourself (current sites and applications).

2. Apartment selection and check

At this stage, we clarify with you the city in which you will buy real estate, determine a potential list of apartments (up to 15 units). Then our employees contact representatives of the owners of these apartments, collect information and analyze it. Based on this, we exclude apartments (not suitable for the client, which will bring him problems or inadequate costs) and schedule meetings to view suitable options.

What we learn about the apartment at this stage:

• completed repair and construction work in the apartment and in the house itself, the condition of the house (replacement of electrical wiring, water and sewer pipes, replacement of the floor, repair of the roof, facade, etc.)
• no real estate debts (owners have not paid for condominium or home repairs)
• planned work on the house (for example, replacing the roof or installing an elevator, which will entail large expenses in the near future)
• the presence of conditions that are mandatory for the buyer (such as a lift in the house, sale with kitchen set)
• does the seller have all the documents necessary for the sale

3. Signing a purchase offer and negotiating a price reduction

We make an offer to purchase the apartment (proposta di acquisto) with you, in which we indicate the time frame within which we want to buy it, as well as the amount we are willing to pay. We pass the offer to the seller for signing. Based on the signed agreement, we set the purchase date with the notary and undertake to buy the apartment at the established price. The seller, in turn, cannot sell the property to another buyer. At this stage, we actively negotiate with the property owners and reduce the price as much as possible. Very often, it is possible to reduce the cost by 3-7%.

 

PROCEDURE FOR BUYING AN APARTMENT OR HOUSE IN ITALY

Purchasing property in Italy is a complex and important procedure. In order to start it, you need to clearly understand all its stages and the sequence of their passage.

1. Purchase offer

The first step in buying an apartment is to submit an Offer to Purchase (Proposta di acquisto) to the seller. In it, the potential buyer states that he wants to buy this specific property on certain terms. If these terms are accepted by the seller and signed, the parties will be obliged to proceed with the purchase and sale of the property as stated in the offer. And the seller can cash the check provided as a deposit. Otherwise, the seller will return the paid check.

2. Preliminary purchase and sale agreement

The preliminary contract (Il contratto preliminare) is a document confirming the promise to sell the property. It defines all the aspects that will be included in the final contract of sale of the property. This contract can be registered in the real estate register using stamped paper and notarized signatures. In this way, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the apartment is sold to several people at the same time.

3. Real estate purchase and sale agreement

The real estate purchase and sale agreement repeats the agreements already recorded in the preliminary agreement, with any additions made. The notary is tasked with checking whether there is a mortgage or violations in the construction. When making a transaction, the buyer must provide the money necessary to pay for the purchase. Also paid are brokerage services, VAT, registration tax and notary fee.
