S&P Law Firm assist you throughout the Italian Property Purchase Process
Buying Property in Italy: legal advice
The interest in real estate investments in Italy has increased significantly over the past 10 years.
Doubts and difficulties encountered as a foreign investor in Italy may concern: language barriers, Italian laws and bureaucracy or, in other words, something we can call “the Italian way of doing things“. For these reasons, getting preliminary advice and on-site aid is essential for a safe purchase.
S&P law firm offers legal advice and assistance to private investors throughout the buying process in Italy. We take care of our client’s interests, ensuring that all legal aspects of property purchase in Italy are correct. The goal is to lead the client to a safe buying and a cost minimization, through legal and technical advice.
The advice may concern, notably:
- purchase of real estate for private use as well as property acquisitions aimed to tourist activities;
- purchase proposals, preliminary contracts, co-ownership and final agreement;
- special power of attorneys and attendance to the contracts as proxy;
- assignment of an Italian tax code (codice fiscale);
- donations of property;
- tax advice;
- property division;
- dissolution of share property;
- rental issues and eviction of tenants;
- liability for property damages;
- foreclosures and mortgages;
- easement (servitude);
- disputes over rights of use and property rights;
- supervision of technical issues (e.g. building permits);
- mortgage loan granted by Italian banks to non-residents.
Besides a complete assistance, we can also assist the client with specific steps of the buying process (e.g. drafting the preliminary contract) or provide legal aid for particularly complicated issues regarding, for example, mortgages, foreclosures, structural damages not known at the time of the proposal and other problems that may arise during the process.
