Legal & tax services
When buying property in Italy, foreign buyers need a trusted legal and tax advisor who understands the Italian system and international expectations.
Our clients rely on us to ensure that every transaction is legally sound, tax-efficient, and aligned with their personal or investment goals, so they can focus on enjoying their new home or asset in Italy with complete peace of mind.
Before purchasing a property in Italy, carrying out both a legal and a site due diligence is essential to protect your investment and avoid unpleasant surprises.
The legal due diligence focuses on the property’s documentation: we verify the ownership title, check that there are no mortgages, easements, or pending disputes, and review building permits and zoning compliance.
For instance, we often discover that a charming country house has an old agricultural designation that prevents residential use — or that a villa includes unauthorized extensions made without permits.
The site due diligence, instead, takes place on the ground.
Together with our surveyors and architects, we visit the property to confirm that what’s built matches what’s approved on paper.
We review architectural plans, cadastral maps, and local planning restrictions, and assess possible issues such as boundary disputes, non-compliant renovations, or missing habitability certificates.
Both reviews aim to identify any legal, technical, or regulatory issues that could affect the property’s value or future use — so that you can move forward with confidence, knowing exactly what you are buying.
When you decide to make an offer on a property in Italy, every detail matters.
The document you sign — often before meeting a lawyer — can already bind you to significant financial and legal commitments. At this stage, you need to ensure that your offer truly protects your interests.
We help you structure the offer correctly from the start, so that all essential conditions — such as deposit protection, timing, inspections, or withdrawal clauses — are clearly defined before you commit.
As negotiations unfold, you can count on experienced legal guidance to help you read between the lines, assess proposals from the seller or agent, and secure terms that reflect your priorities.
Whether the issue concerns fixtures, renovation obligations, zoning restrictions, or overlapping ownership rights, we make sure you understand the full picture before moving forward.
With this support, you stay in control of the negotiation — making informed decisions, avoiding common mistakes, and setting a solid legal foundation for your purchase in Italy.
In other words: you negotiate from a position of clarity and strength.
Every property transaction in Italy begins — and is ultimately defined — by the contract you sign.
Whether it’s a purchase offer, preliminary agreement, or lease, each clause carries legal and financial implications that deserve expert attention.
When buying or renting property in Italy, you want to be sure that what you sign fully protects your interests and reflects the real terms agreed with the other party.
Our legal team reviews and drafts contracts tailored to your situation — whether you are purchasing as an individual, through a company, or via a trust or holding structure — ensuring that every document is clear, enforceable, and compliant with Italian law.
If your goal is to generate income from your property, we also advise on buy-to-let strategies, helping you structure short- or long-term rental agreements that are both profitable and compliant with local regulations.
With the right legal drafting, you gain peace of mind and protection, knowing that your investment in Italy stands on solid legal ground — from the first signature to the final closing.
As a foreign investor, buying property in Italy involves more than choosing the right home — it also means understanding the legal framework that governs foreign ownership.
The rules can vary depending on your nationality, residency status, and even the location of the property.
We help you navigate these requirements with clarity and confidence.
You’ll understand who can buy property in Italy, how to structure the purchase as a non-resident or company, and what residency or visa options may apply.
We also explain any regional restrictions — for example, in areas with cultural heritage protection or along coastal zones — and how to comply with anti-money-laundering and tax reporting obligations.
Our team keeps up to date with the latest legislative changes affecting foreign buyers and cross-border ownership structures, so that you can make informed, compliant decisions — without unpleasant surprises later.
In short, you gain clarity, legal certainty, and full compliance — the foundation of any successful property investment in Italy.
When you invest in real estate in Italy, the way your transaction is structured can make a major difference — not only in terms of compliance, but in long-term financial efficiency and peace of mind.
You want to understand clearly how Italian tax rules apply to your situation, and how to integrate them into your wider wealth strategy.
That’s why every engagement begins with a personalized tax analysis of your investment:
– type of property,
– how you plan to hold it (individually, through a company, or a trust),
– how long you expect to keep it, and
– how you intend to use it — whether as a residence, rental property, or long-term asset.
If you are considering relocating to Italy, we guide you through the flat-tax regime (now €200,000 per year on worldwide income), explaining when it truly fits your profile and how to make the most of it.
You will also learn about other beneficial regimes — such as the “impatriati regime” for professionals and remote workers relocating to Italy, and the pensioner regime designed for retirees who transfer their residence to specific Southern regions.
When it comes to property taxes, you will know exactly what to expect — from purchase duties to annual IMU and TARI, and any local taxes that apply in the municipality where your property is located.
If your plan includes rental income, we help you choose the most tax-efficient leasing or buy-to-let structure, balancing profit and compliance.
Should you later decide to sell, we provide a clear view of capital-gains taxation, considering ownership duration, reinvestment options, and possible exemptions.
At every stage, your transaction is structured to maximize available incentives, minimize exposure, and stay fully compliant with Italian and EU regulations.
Throughout this process, you can rely on discreet, proactive support — so that you always know your obligations, deadlines, and opportunities.
With the right tax planning, your Italian investment becomes not just compliant, but strategically aligned with your global wealth plan.
When you buy property in Italy, how you hold the asset can be just as important as what you buy.
The right ownership structure protects your wealth, simplifies future succession, and can significantly reduce your tax exposure — both in Italy and abroad.
You may choose to buy personally, together with family members, or through a company, trust, or partnership.
Each option carries different implications in terms of liability, taxation, inheritance, and administrative obligations.
For example, a family purchasing a villa in Tuscany for personal use may benefit from direct ownership, while an investor acquiring multiple rental units in Milan might prefer an Italian limited liability company (SRL) to optimize management and taxation.
We help you understand these nuances and select the structure that best aligns with your goals — whether they involve asset protection, privacy, generational planning, or tax efficiency.
You will know exactly what each choice means for your short- and long-term objectives, in clear, practical terms.
Once the decision is made, we handle every legal aspect — from drafting the incorporation documents or co-ownership agreements to ensuring compliance with Italian notarial, tax, and corporate formalities.
We also coordinate closely with your tax advisors, accountants, or wealth managers to ensure that your Italian property integrates seamlessly into your overall financial plan.
With the right ownership structure, you gain security, flexibility, and peace of mind, knowing your investment in Italy is legally sound, tax-efficient, and built to last.
Before finalizing any purchase in Italy, it’s essential to know who you’re really buying from.
A property may look perfect on paper, but if the seller’s legal standing isn’t clear, your investment could face unexpected risks — from hidden debts to disputes over ownership.
We conduct thorough seller due diligence, verifying that the individual or company selling the property has full legal title and authority to sell, and that there are no pending claims, inheritance issues, liens, or insolvency proceedings that could compromise the transaction.
For example, in some cases we uncover that a villa offered by “an owner” is still formally held within an undivided estate, or that a corporate seller is under liquidation or tax audit — situations that must be resolved before any sale can safely proceed.
You receive a clear report and practical advice on how to proceed, ensuring transparency and legal certainty from the very start.
This step not only prevents costly surprises, but also strengthens your negotiating position and protects your peace of mind.
In Italy, the notary plays a central role in every real estate purchase — unlike in many other countries, where a lawyer or title company handles the closing.
The notary is a public officer who ensures that the transaction complies with Italian law, but does not represent either party’s interests. That’s where our role becomes essential.
We act as your legal counterpart to the notary, ensuring that all deeds, contracts, and related documents truly reflect your intentions and protect your rights.
You can rely on us to coordinate every step of the notarial process: from preparing and reviewing the purchase agreement and deed of sale, to verifying that all authorizations, certificates, and payments are properly documented before the signing.
We also liaise directly with trusted notaries specializing in real estate transactions, handling the necessary communications and documentation on your behalf.
This ensures a seamless closing — one where every word of the deed is correct, every risk has been addressed, and you walk away with full legal certainty over your property.
When you buy property in Italy, you should never sign a document you don’t fully understand.
That’s why we arrange for professional legal translations of all key documents — from purchase agreements and deeds of sale to leases, powers of attorney, and corporate filings — so that every term and obligation is perfectly clear.
You receive accurate, certified translations prepared by professionals experienced in legal and notarial terminology, ensuring that nothing is lost in translation.
We also review the translated versions with you , clarifying the meaning and implications of each clause before you sign.
This way, you can navigate your Italian transaction with confidence — knowing exactly what you are agreeing to, and why.
If you do not speak Italian, the law requires that a court-certified interpreter and two witnesses attend the notarial closing to translate the deed of sale — a process that can be lengthy, formal, and costly.
To simplify this, we can attend the closing on your behalf, acting as your attorney-in-fact under a properly executed power of attorney (procura).
This allows the notarial deed to be signed directly in Italian, while still ensuring that your intentions, rights, and obligations are accurately represented.
You will receive a complete English summary of the deed for your reference, together with a final package of all relevant documents, so you remain fully informed and in control even if you are not physically present.
This solution saves you time, avoids unnecessary expenses, and ensures that the transaction proceeds smoothly and securely — exactly as if you were there in person.
After the closing, you receive a comprehensive Closing Report — a clear, well-organized record of your entire transaction.
This report includes all final notarial and legal documents, together with a concise summary of what was signed, when, and by whom.
It serves as a personal reference file, making it easy to access key information about your property — such as ownership details, tax references, utilities, and any next administrative steps.
You’ll also find a brief post-closing checklist, outlining the actions to take as a new property owner in Italy (for example, transferring utilities, registering taxes, or arranging local services).
With this tailored documentation in hand, you can manage your Italian property with complete clarity and confidence — knowing that everything is recorded, compliant, and easily accessible whenever you need it.
Your relationship with us doesn’t end at the notarial signing — it continues for as long as you need.
Owning property in Italy involves ongoing legal, fiscal, and practical obligations, and having trusted guidance ensures that your investment remains secure, compliant, and enjoyable over time.
We provide post-closing legal and tax assistance tailored to international property owners, including:
Lease Agreements
If you decide to rent out your property — whether for short-term stays or long-term leases — you’ll receive expert advice on drafting, reviewing, and negotiating lease contracts that protect your rights and optimize tax efficiency.
We help you navigate Italian rental regulations, deposit requirements, and tenant protections, ensuring that your lease structure supports your goals while remaining fully compliant.
Property Management Assistance
Managing a property from abroad can be challenging.
We assist you in selecting reputable property management companies, review their agreements to confirm that fees, duties, and liabilities are clearly defined, and ensure that your asset is properly maintained and insured.
With our help, you can delegate operations confidently — knowing your property is managed according to your expectations.
Legal Issue Resolution
If any legal dispute or regulatory issue arises — from neighbor claims to construction defects or non-payment by tenants — we are by your side.
Our priority is to resolve matters quickly and discreetly, seeking amicable solutions whenever possible and protecting your interests if formal proceedings become necessary.
Through our post-closing services, you gain long-term peace of mind and a trusted legal partner who understands both your property and your global priorities.

That’s why we involve experienced architects and surveyors early in the process.They assess the condition, structural integrity, and design possibilities of the property, verifying that it complies with local building and zoning regulations and identifying any potential renovation or planning issues.
You receive clear, professional insights — for example, whether a historic villa can be expanded, if a rural house is correctly zoned for residential use, or whether restoration costs are aligned with market value.
This helps you make informed and confident decisions, knowing the property truly fits your investment and lifestyle goals.

We also guide you through the planning and permitting process, ensuring that every design proposal complies with local zoning and building regulations.
From concept to approval, you benefit from a seamless collaboration between legal and architectural professionals — so your vision for the property becomes a reality, safely and beautifully.

Together with our architects and contractors, you can transform your property while preserving its authenticity and ensuring full compliance with local building laws and permits.

Through this collaborative process, you achieve a space that is tailored to you, respectful of Italian architectural tradition, and compliant with all relevant regulations — ready to be enjoyed from the very first day.
Investing in Italy also means embracing its natural beauty — and preserving it for the future. That’s why sustainability is now a defining element of refined architecture and property ownership.
Our architects integrate sustainable design principles and energy-efficient solutions into your property from the earliest planning stages.
This may include upgrading insulation and windows in historic homes, installing solar or geothermal systems, optimizing natural light and ventilation, or selecting eco-conscious materials that enhance comfort while reducing environmental impact.
The result is a property that is both elegant and efficient — one that aligns with your values, complies with evolving European energy standards, and often benefits from fiscal incentives and reduced long-term operating costs.

F.A.Q.
When considering buying a property in Italy, it’s normal to have questions — about the process, the taxes, the legal framework, or simply how things work here. Below are some of the questions we are most often asked by our international clients.
If you’ve wondered about any of these, you’re not alone — and you’ll find that we are fully equipped to guide you through each step of your real estate journey in Italy with clarity and confidence.
🟦 FAQ 1: What are the legal requirements for purchasing real estate in Italy as a foreign investor?
Foreign citizens can generally buy real estate in Italy provided that the principle of reciprocity applies — meaning that Italian citizens are allowed to buy property in the buyer’s country of origin.
EU and EEA citizens, as well as nationals of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and many other countries, can freely acquire property in Italy without any special authorization.
The transaction must be finalized before an Italian notary, and the buyer must obtain an Italian Tax Code (Codice Fiscale). Our team assists clients through all steps — from due diligence and contract negotiation to tax structuring and closing.
🟦 FAQ 2: Can non-EU citizens buy property in Italy?
Yes. Non-EU citizens can buy property in Italy as long as a reciprocity agreement exists between Italy and their country of citizenship. For example, U.S., U.K., Canadian, and Australian citizens can purchase property freely.
Citizens of countries without reciprocity may buy through an Italian or EU company. We can verify your country’s eligibility and assist
🟦 FAQ 3: What taxes apply when buying property in Italy?
When purchasing real estate in Italy, the taxes you pay depend mainly on who the seller is — a private individual or a company — and on whether VAT (IVA) applies.
– Purchase from a private individual
If you buy from a private seller, the transaction is exempt from VAT and subject to:
Registration tax: 2% if you qualify for prima casa (main residence) benefits, otherwise 9% of the property’s cadastral value (usually lower than the market price).
Cadastral and mortgage taxes: fixed at €50 each.
– Purchase from a company or a new build
If the seller is a company (typically a developer or builder) and the property is sold within 5 years of construction, VAT applies instead of registration tax:
VAT: 4% for a primary residence, 10% for standard properties, and 22% for luxury properties.
Registration, cadastral, and mortgage taxes: fixed at €200 each.
Taxes are calculated and collected directly by the notary at the time of signing the final deed (“Rogito”), who then registers the transaction with the Agenzia delle Entrate.
At Aliant Legal Grounds, we provide our clients with a full tax breakdown and cost estimate before signing any preliminary agreement, ensuring transparency and compliance at every stage of the process.
🟦 FAQ 4: What are the main steps of the property purchase process in Italy?
The process typically includes three stages:
Offer and acceptance – a non-binding purchase proposal.
Preliminary agreement (“Compromesso”) – a binding contract with a deposit (usually 10%–30%) after due diligence.
Final deed of sale (“Rogito”) – executed before an Italian notary, who registers the title in the public land registry.
Our firm coordinates the entire process, ensuring all documents are compliant and the buyer’s interests are fully protected.
🟦 FAQ 5: Do I need to be in Italy in person to buy a property?
No. You can complete the purchase remotely by granting a Power of Attorney (Procura) to your lawyer or another trusted person. The signature can be notarized and apostilled in your home country.
We regularly handle remote closings for clients worldwide, coordinating directly with the notary and real estate agents in Italy.
🟦 FAQ 6: How does property due diligence work in Italy?
Before signing the preliminary contract, a full legal and technical due diligence is essential. It covers:
Ownership and title checks
Building and zoning compliance
Absence of liens, mortgages, or legal disputes
Verification of cadastral data and energy certificates
Our lawyers work with surveyors and notaries to ensure that every aspect of the property is legally sound before proceeding.
🟦 FAQ 7: What are the main risks to avoid when buying real estate in Italy? (click here to learn more)
Common risks include incomplete ownership titles, unregistered renovations, unpaid property taxes, or hidden liabilities attached to the property.
Engaging an experienced lawyer before signing any document is crucial — the notary verifies compliance, but does not protect the buyer’s interests.
Our role is to identify risks early and structure the transaction safely.
🟦 FAQ 8: Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Italy?
While Italian law does not make it mandatory, having a lawyer is highly recommended.
The notary’s duty is to certify and register the deed, not to perform detailed due diligence or negotiate terms on your behalf.
A real estate lawyer ensures your investment is secure, tax-efficient, and compliant with all Italian and EU regulations.
🟦 FAQ 9: Can I obtain Italian residency or a visa by buying property in Italy?
Owning property alone does not automatically grant residency. However, purchasing real estate can support visa applications such as the Elective Residency Visa, the Investor Visa, or retirement relocation programs.
We can coordinate your investment with immigration counsel to ensure your property purchase aligns with your residency plans.
🟦 FAQ 10: How can I structure my Italian property investment through a company or trust?
Foreign investors often use corporate or trust structures for ownership efficiency and succession planning.
An Italian SRL company, or a foreign company registered for tax purposes in Italy, can hold real estate assets.
Trusts may also be recognized in Italy under the Hague Convention.
We advise on the most tax-efficient and legally compliant structure based on your nationality, family situation, and investment goals.
🟦 FAQ 11:Who pays the agent’s commission in Italy? (click here to learn more)
In Italy, both the buyer and the seller are typically required to pay a commission to the real estate agent (agente immobiliare). This differs from many countries where only the seller covers the agent’s fee. Each party usually pays their share — generally between 2% and 5% of the purchase price, plus 22% VAT — directly to the agent, unless a different arrangement has been clearly agreed upon in writing. Because commissions are negotiable, it’s important to confirm in advance how the payment will be divided and when it becomes due, ideally before signing any purchase proposal or brokerage agreement.
These are just some examples of the legal and tax questions that foreign investors commonly seek guidance on when purchasing real estate in Italy. If any of these questions resonate with you, we are here to provide professional guidance and support to ensure a smooth and informed real estate experience in Italy.
