What are the steps to buying a property as a foreigner?
While the steps to buying a home are similar anywhere, use this list as a guide to get started in your Italian property purchase:
- Look into a mortgage. While most Italian banks will lend to foreigners, it’s smart to get an idea of just how much they’re willing to lend before you get started.
- Engage a realtor. Whether you’re working with a realtor in your home country or in Italy, using an agent is truly the best way to get a good deal and see properties that are well-suited to your needs.
- Choose a property and make an offer.
- Get a sale contract. This will need to be drafted, looked over and stamped by an Italian notary.
- Sign the contract.
- Pay taxes.
In many cases, buying a property in Italy takes around six months – although it could be more or less. This is Italy, and that means a lot of paperwork and due diligence.
If you’re working with a real estate agent, the process is likely to be relatively straightforward. But you’ll still need to make sure you read up on what taxes you’ll need to pay, and any visas needed so you can live in your new Italian home once you’ve bought it.
Thankfully, in this digital & social networking age, you can prepare yourselves in advance with the wonderful, thorough and diverse social media groups & websites that now exist and are proliferating on the web.
