CHECKLIST FOR BUYING/SELLING PROPERTY IN ITALY

three steps:

1)                  proposta irrevocabile (reservation offer): will be registered at the tax office

Cost:  0,50% of the indicated amount + 168 euros + tax stamps (1 stamp: 14,62 euros every 4 pages or 100 lines)

2)                  contratto preliminare (preliminary contract): will be registered at the tax office at the same conditions above.
The presence of a notary is not mandatory for the contratto preliminare.
3)                  rogito - atto di vendita (deed of sale): will be registered at the Conservatoria by the notary
It is also possible to skip the preliminary contract.

Required DOCUMENTS

Deed of provenance - previous contract of sale (atto di provenienza) or hereditary succession ( atto di successione)

Floor plan (piantina catastale): if it doesn't correspond a new one has to be drawn up by a building surveyor and registered  at the land registry

Cadastral survey (Visura catastale)

Conservatoria survey (property title and mortgage registry)

Nota trascrizione (Note of transcription) of the property title

Mortgage survey (Ipoteca): Although a mortgage has been paid entirely, the note needs to be cancelled by a notary at the Conservatoria. (So there might be a note of a mortgage that just needs to be cancelled)

Certificate of habitability (Certificato di Agibilità)

(Documentation of  Condono (Amnesty for infringement of local building regulations))

Energy certificate (Certificato energetico)

Condominium regulations (Regolamento condominiale) and Report of property management expenses  (Rendiconto spese dell'amministratore condominiale)
