Three clauses that should always be drafted into the preliminary contract of a foreign buyer in Italy — and frequently are not, when the draft comes from the seller's side.

The deposit must be designated as caparra confirmatoria rather than acconto, so that in the event of seller default the buyer recovers double the amount automatically. Closing must be conditioned on the remediation of any title, cadastral, or urban planning issues identified during due diligence, at the seller's cost. And the property must be explicitly delivered empty — free of occupants, furniture, belongings, and existing service contracts — to avoid the last-minute disputes these details produce at closing more often than most buyers expect.
None of these three clauses is standard in seller-drafted templates. All three require active insertion and negotiation.

A few weeks ago we talked about why Arquà Petrarca is worth the attention of international buyers looking beyond Tuscany. The follow-up question we got most often was simply: what does property here actually look like?

Three categories, essentially. Historic apartments inside the medieval centre — stone buildings, wooden beams, internal courtyards, sometimes original fourteenth-century features — ranging from 120,000 to 280,000 euros. Townhouses on the edge of the village with small private outdoor space, between 250,000 and 450,000. And countryside properties on the surrounding hills — restored farmhouses on one to two hectares with olive groves or vineyard land — between 500,000 and 900,000 depending on views and finish.

What’s consistent across all three is scarcity. Arquà has under 2,000 residents. Good inventory moves quietly, often off-market. If something right comes up, it rarely stays listed long.

Foreign buyer activity in Italian residential real estate has remained structurally strong through 2025 and into 2026. The volume is stable. The geography is not.

Tuscany still dominates the prestige segment, but a meaningful share of new international capital is moving toward the Veneto hinterland, the eastern Italian lakes, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and the Apulian Valle d'Itria. The pricing differentials are substantial; the infrastructure, comparable.

Fifty minutes from Venice airport, home to some of the best-preserved medieval walls in Europe. Montagnana is a town of nine thousand that barely appears in international property coverage — and that absence shows in the price.

Four kilometres of intact thirteenth-century walls, considered the most complete defensive system in Italy. A central square dominated by the cathedral. Property inside the walls currently priced between 1,800 and 2,500 euros per square metre. Equivalent properties in Lucca or Pienza run between 4,500 and 6,500.

The stone is the same. The countryside is the same. The cultural depth is the same. The only difference is how much of the international market has found it yet.

When clients ask what an Italian property purchase actually costs, the honest answer is that the listing price is around 85 to 88 percent of what you’ll actually spend. The rest breaks down predictably once you see it laid out.

Notary fee at 1 to 2 percent of the purchase price. Imposta di registro at 9 percent of the cadastral value for non-residents (and the cadastral value is usually 30 to 50 percent lower than market price, which softens the number considerably). Real estate agent commission at roughly 3 percent plus VAT on the buyer side. Legal and due diligence fees structured as fixed or capped amounts agreed upfront. Translation and apostille costs where foreign documents are involved.

Nothing hidden. All predictable. What trips people up isn’t the individual figures — it’s adding them up for the first time on closing day, instead of at the offer stage.

Three Italian residence visas for non-EU nationals. They sound interchangeable. They are not.

The Elective Residence Visa, the Digital Nomad Visa, and the Investor Visa each target a specific profile. Choosing the wrong one does not just mean filling out the wrong form — it means building your entire relocation plan on the wrong foundation.

One Italian term foreign buyers inevitably encounter during due diligence: sanatoria. Worth understanding what it means before it appears in one of our reports.

A sanatoria is the retroactive building permit — what gets issued when part of a property was modified, extended, or converted without proper authorisation at the time. In our experience, roughly one in three Italian residential properties we review has some form of cadastral or planning irregularity. Most are minor and resolvable. Some are more significant.

The procedure involves the municipality, sometimes a licensed surveyor, proportionate fines, and a processing time of six weeks to three months. The key point is timing: identified before the preliminary contract, the cost and delay sit with the seller through a condition precedent. Identified after the deed, they sit with you.

Deborah's path to her Italian home began years before the purchase itself.

She first came to our network through our sister company, Italian Citizenship Assistance, where she and her family pursued Italian citizenship together. When her brother purchased an Italian condo through our firm, the experience was positive enough that — when her own moment came — Deborah didn't need to look anywhere else.

What made her case particular was the constraint. Health issues meant she couldn't travel to Italy during the search or the purchase. The entire process had to be handled remotely, with property identification based on Google Maps and video tours, and full legal representation from our team on the ground.

The result: a condo in Foligno, Umbria, that ticked every item on a long list of requirements — Centro Storico, lift, two bathrooms, terrace, walkable distance to everything. Exactly what she had asked for.

Behind every successful remote closing is a team that treats the buyer's brief as if it were the firm's own. We're honored to have been Deborah's team — and grateful for her words.

A significant share of our foreign clients complete their Italian property purchase through a Power of Attorney. The reasons are almost always practical — not legal, and certainly not about hesitation.

A procura speciale is narrow in scope. It authorises our firm to act on the client’s behalf, but only within parameters we agree in advance — property, maximum price, conditions, timeline. Nothing happens outside those boundaries. The preparatory phase takes two to three weeks: drafting, notarisation abroad, apostille, translation, registration. After that, we can sign the preliminary, handle the deposit, and execute the final deed at the Italian notary on your behalf.

What the POA solves is the coordination problem. The Italian notarial process moves on its own calendar, which rarely aligns with international travel and work schedules. For most of our clients, it’s simply the better way to do it.

When a foreign buyer makes an offer on an Italian property, one of the first verifications we run is whether the person listed as seller actually holds full authority to sell. It sounds obvious until it isn’t.

Italian properties are commonly held in shared ownership — spouses acquiring jointly, siblings inheriting together, family members holding fractions acquired at different moments. The listing presents a single contact. The Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari often shows a more complex picture underneath. For any valid transfer, every co-owner must consent and sign.

In our experience, roughly one in four properties we review has some form of shared ownership that requires coordination. It’s manageable when identified early, and a serious problem when it surfaces after the preliminary is signed.
