Buying a property in Italy as a foreigner is possible, but requires a few formalities. The first step is to obtain a **codice fiscale**, i.e. an Italian tax identification number - this can be done remotely via the consulate or through a real estate agent who will make an appointment at the tax office and help you fill in the necessary forms. You should then find a local real estate agent (agente immobiliare), preferably one with experience in working with foreigners. Once a suitable property has been found, a preliminary contract (compromesso) is signed, which often includes a down payment (usually 10%). The finalisation of the transaction takes place at the notary - it is he who checks the legal status of the property, debts, land registry, etc. The buyer also pays notary fees, purchase tax and registration costs. For non-EU nationals, it may be necessary to additionally check whether reciprocity applies in their country (whether an Italian can buy a property in their country). The buying process takes from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the preparation of the documents. Buying a property in Italy is not only a dream come true, but also a viable investment - especially in regions such as Calabria, where the market still offers attractive prices and development opportunities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
