Open in Google MapsBuying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.

Get a codice fiscale
Italian tax code — apply at any Agenzia delle Entrate office or an Italian consulate abroad. Free and fast.

Make a proposta d'acquisto
Written purchase proposal with a small deposit (typically €1,000–€5,000). Binding on the buyer for an agreed period; becomes binding on both parties when the seller accepts.

Preliminary contract with a deposit of 10–20% (caparra confirmatoria). If buyer withdraws they forfeit it; if seller withdraws they pay double.

Final searches by the notaio
Notaio runs title and mortgage searches at the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and prepares the final deed.
- 6
Sign the rogito (atto di compravendita)
Final deed signed at the notaio's office (or by power of attorney). Balance paid, taxes paid, keys handed over.

Registration
Notaio registers the deed with the tax authority and land registry within 30 days.
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties. The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits. Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
