From buyer eligibility and tax code to property checks, notary coordination, power of attorney and completion — one local point of contact, in English, even when you buy from abroad.
A safer purchase starts by checking the buyer, the property and the paperwork before contracts and deadlines create unnecessary risk.
We clarify the buyer's position at the beginning and coordinate any case-specific verification with the Italian notary.
EU and EEA citizens are generally treated on the same footing as Italian citizens for property ownership. You will still need an Italian tax code and the documents required for the deed.
UK citizens are non-EU buyers, so the rules applying to the individual transaction are confirmed with the Italian notary. For a remote purchase, a special power of attorney can be signed before a UK Notary Public and apostilled for use in Italy.
For non-EU citizens, the right to buy may depend on reciprocity, an exemption, residence status or an applicable international agreement. The Italian notary confirms the legal position for the specific transaction.
You deal with one person in Sicily while the notary and qualified technical professionals carry out the formal checks required for their respective areas.
We check before you commit.
Our job is not to make every purchase happen. Our job is to help you make the right purchase.
Your right to buy in Italy, Italian tax code and the personal documents the notary will need for the deed.
We coordinate with the Italian notary, who performs the formal legal verification relevant to title, mortgages, registrations and the deed.
Checks are carried out with a qualified surveyor or architect: plans versus the actual property, planning documentation and irregularities that may need to be resolved.
You receive a clear picture of the issues: proceed, require a problem to be fixed or protected contractually, or do not proceed if the risk is unacceptable.
We coordinate the special power of attorney, notarial completion and, when validly authorised, representation at the deed.
Send us the property you are considering. We’ll explain what should be checked before you buy.
