Know what you are buying

In Italy the notary verifies the deed itself, not the property's compliance. Cadastral mismatches, planning irregularities and forgotten mortgages can survive the rogito and surface years later. We check, buyer-side, before any deposit moves.

A clean title chain

Twenty years of ownership history through the Visure Ipotecarie, the same window Italian notaries require. We surface active and historic ipoteche, pignoramenti, servitù and pre-emption rights that could bind you.

Bricks that match the file

We reconcile the registered planimetria with the building as it stands, and audit permits, change-of-use authorisations and any abusi edilizi from prior owners. Mismatches block resale and Italian mortgages.

The fiscal picture

IMU history, condominium dues, the energy certificate (APE) and any outstanding tax assessments tied to the property. We also confirm the seller is legally entitled to sell and resolve pending inheritance matters.

A go / no-go verdict

A clear written report, in your language, classifying each issue as blocking, negotiable or informational. For blocking issues we set out what the seller must cure; for negotiable ones, how to factor them into your offer.

Pause for five days

Standard turnaround is five working days from receipt of the property and seller documents. A pre-purchase assessment is the single highest-leverage spend in an international Italian transaction; it saves months of unwinding a bad one.
