The very first step in the property purchase process is making the purchase offer (“proposta d’acquisto”). The signing of this document by both buyer and seller essentially guards the property from further interest until the final deed of sale either does or does not go through. The document will also specify the agreed-upon price of sale and a time frame to complete the purchase process. A small deposit (“caparra”) is also paid by the buyer upon signing. If you need help understanding the purchase process or would like professional assistance as you navigate these documents, contact us via the form on our website!

Are you able to apply for an Italian mortgage if you’re a foreigner? In general, yes, though much is dependent on your individual circumstances and which bank you decide to use. For instance, banks usually want the borrower to reside in Italy, so it might be more difficult to obtain an Italian mortgage if you do not. Be aware too, that in many cases a mortgage won’t cover more than 50% of the price. If you are eligible for a mortgage with an Italian bank, you will want to make sure you have a codice fiscale (Italian Tax Code), which can be easily obtained at your local consulate (if outside of Italy) or at an Agenzia delle Entrate (if in Italy). You will also want to be able to demonstrate proof of stable income. Getting a mortgage in Italy isn’t necessarily easy, but it can be possible, particularly for those who reside there, EU or non-EU citizens.

The answer to whether you can purchase property in Italy as a foreigner is heavily dependent on your home country. In general, most foreigners can purchase property in Italy without restriction. The primary criteria to look at is if your country has a reciprocity agreement with Italy. Essentially, this means that Italians are allowed to buy property in your country without restriction. If so, then most likely you can purchase Italian property. If you hold an EU passport, then this doesn’t apply; you can buy property regardless. The U.S. has such a reciprocity agreement, so Americans do not have to reside in Italy to buy a home there. If you do not hold an Italian or EU passport, though, you will not be able to reside at your property for longer than 90 days in a 180-day period. In other words, if you would like to permanently reside there, you must get an Italian visa, or citizenship if such a pathway is open to you.

A popular and stunning place to visit, Taormina is well worth a consideration for your Italian property or next visit to Sicily. Near Mount Etna, it provides not only beautiful views of the volcano and seaside, but also plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring the surroundings. While Etna is still a very active volcano, it’s actually not considered dangerous and is closely monitored. While in Taormina, you can also visit an old Greek theater, and the unique Palazzo Corvaja, a late medieval former seat of the Sicilian Parliament. Be sure to explore Corso Umberto, the main street with plenty of shops and restaurants to fill your afternoon. With a wealth of historical sites, natural beauty, and delicious food, Taormina is a lovely place to discover.

The stunning northern city of Brescia in Italy’s Lombardy region is an elegant place rich in history and well connected to other popular places like Milan, Verona, and Lago di Garda. One of the most interesting sights there is the Santa Giulia Museum. This city museum is in a former monastery, and hosts a number of fascinating ancient and medieval objects. There is also a medieval castle perched on a hill that is one of the largest in Italy. Beautiful gardens surround it, and within you can find an arms museum and Italy’s first public observatory. Go to see a concert or an opera in the glimmering Teatro Grande. Or go to visit the Mille Miglia Museum, which has an incredible collection of historical cars honoring the endurance race of the same name that Italy had during the early 20th century. With its ideal location and such historical treasures, Brescia is a city worth looking into for your property search.

A codice fiscale (or Italian Tax Code) is a necessity for purchasing property in Italy, along with many other daily tasks. Unlike what the name implies, it does not mean you suddenly have an obligation to pay taxes in Italy. Everyone who resides in Italy can get one, regardless of citizenship. Even those who live outside of Italy, but need it for Italian bureaucratic reasons (such as purchasing property) can get one at their local consulate. To get one in Italy, you will need to go to the “Sportelli Unici per l’Immigrazione” or the Questura if you are a non-EU citizen, or to the Agenzia delle Entrate, if you are an EU citizen. EU citizens only need to present their passport or valid ID, while non-EU citizens must have a valid passport along with a visa (if needed) and permit of stay. Check with your local authorities to see if anything else is required.

Well-situated between Florence and Rome in southern Umbria, Orvieto has long been an important city, from its time as an Etruscan city, a papal possession, and for the fact that the renowned philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas taught there. Today, you can explore an underground Orvieto, with thousands of years of history lying in caves and tunnels beneath the city. If you want to learn more about Etruscan Orvieto, you can also visit the Museo Claudio Faina with a rich archeological collection. The cathedral, or duomo, is also stunning. Begun in the late 13th century, it has an intricate Gothic façade reminiscent of Siena’s cathedral, with jewels of artwork inside by artists like Fra Angelico. With its fascinating history and beautiful surroundings, Orvieto should be near the top of your list of places to visit in Italy.

The concept of “bare ownership” is rather unique to Italy, though it exists in a few other countries as well. Essentially, it is the case in which a person purchases a property without the right to live in it. This is most often seen in the circumstances of elderly people who would like to relieve themselves of some of the burden of home ownership while still being able to reside in the property. The person who lives in the property is referred to as having usufruct and must continue to maintain the property and cover most expenses for it. The bare owner, on the other hand, has to take care of certain extraordinary expenses and the registration tax. In some cases, the usufruct will pass to the bare owner at the end of the life of the resident, or at some other agreed-upon time. While it might sound like an odd situation, bare ownership can be a good solution for those looking to invest in Italian property without the intent to use it for the near future.

You’ll want to look into hiring an architect if you’re looking into doing extensive renovation work on your house. With their intense training, it is worth the money to employ one for big changes to your property, to make sure everything is done correctly and in compliance with local laws. In order to find one in Italy, you will want to first ensure that the people you are looking at have completed the required five years of formal training and are registered with the CNAPPC. It would also be a good idea to ask them about past work done. On a somewhat smaller, but no less important, scale, it is also important to make sure you like their designs—if applicable to the kind of work you’re doing—and to have one who is good at communication too. Expect to pay the architect between around 5% and 15% of the overall project cost.

You’ll be happy to know that you don’t need to be an Italian citizen to purchase a car in Italy. As long as you are a legal resident of the country, you are able to buy one. Be sure, though, that you have a license that is recognized in Italy: either an Italian/EU driving license, or a country with an exchange treaty to replace your old license with an Italian one, or your non-EU license accompanied by an International Driving Permit (only valid for a year after declaring residency). Otherwise, to purchase a car, you will just need to show your passport, residency certificate, visa/permit to stay, and codice fiscale. If you want to take a loan out, it will be easiest if you have Italian-based income, though not impossible if you don’t. Finally, after purchase, you’ll need to have the car registered in your name.
