Tips for Buying Italian Property

Italy has some of the most beautiful property in the world. If you are new to buying property in Italy, then there are a few things of which you should be aware.

The most fun part of buying a property in Italy is when you go to view the property. If you like what you see and you have found your dream home in Italy, then you are ready to make a down payment. A sum somewhere between EU1500 to EU5000 should be enough to get you started.

You need to make sure that you have all of your documentation in order when you are ready to buy the home of your dreams in Italy. You of course will need a passport. If you are a married woman, you will also need a copy of both your birth certificate and wedding certificate that has your maiden name on it. The law in Italy states that all houses and cars are to always be purchased in the woman’s maiden name. You need these documents in order to apply for a tax number. You will also receive a very useful “codice fiscale” card. This process of obtaining all of the necessary documentation is best done in person.
