Stages of the Purchase

A property transaction in Italy generally includes three main stages:

• Property evaluation and purchase offer

• Preliminary purchase agreement

• Final deed in front of a notary

A purchase offer, once accepted within the required timeframe, may already be legally binding. For this reason, legal review before submission is essential.

Preliminary Legal Due Diligence

A comprehensive preliminary review of the legal and administrative status of the property is essential to ensure a safe purchase.

Our legal due diligence includes:

• Verification of ownership and right to sell

• Analysis of title deeds and cadastral data

• Checks on mortgages, liens, foreclosures, usufructs, or third-party rights

• Review of condominium regulations (if applicable)

• Verification of pre-emption rights

• Corporate checks on the seller

This process allows potential risks or irregularities to be identified before signing the offer or the preliminary agreement.
