Buying property in Italy

Full guide →

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.

  • 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).

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.

General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
