Four things to settle before signing

Most difficulties in an Italian property purchase come from these four points being left unclear at the start.

Before making an offer

Price, deposit, timing, documents, mortgage needs and completion date should all be clear before you sign a proposal — not after.

Mortgage is not automatic

A mortgage request does not suspend the purchase obligation. If you want the purchase conditional on bank approval, it must be written into the proposal and accepted by the seller.

Not every building is a home

Some properties are classified as storage, agricultural, commercial or accessory buildings. Agricultural land does not automatically mean building potential.

Buying remotely is possible

In many cases the purchase can be managed through Power of Attorney, certified translations and notarial coordination — but it needs planning from the start.

How it works

Working with international buyers

Clear steps, reliable documents

The goal is a purchase process that is clear and controlled: property information, visits, offer structure, documentation, communication between parties and coordination with the relevant professionals.

Buyer agency fee is fixed at 4% + VAT of the final agreed price, stated upfront. Under Italian practice it becomes due when the parties reach a binding agreement — not necessarily only at the final deed.

With your own professionals

If you already have a lawyer, notary, tax adviser or technical consultant, we coordinate with them. If you don't, we can point you towards qualified independent professionals.

Knowledge of the Sardinian market, multilingual communication and a clear explanation of every step before you sign anything binding.
