Buying in Italy is exciting - but the system isn't simple. This guide gives you the real, step-by-step path used by successful international buyers: how to choose the right property, avoid hidden costs, understand who does what (agent, geometra, notary), and sign safely.
 
What you'll learn:
 
The real timeline in Italy (and why "no hurry" can cost you money).
How offers, deposits, and contracts really work (proposal, caparra, preliminary).
Who protects you (and who doesn't): agent vs. notary vs. geometra.
Fees & taxes explained in plain English (registration, notary, agency, hidden extras).
Documents you must ask for (APE, visure, land registry, floor plans, conformity).
Red flags to walk away from - before you lose time or cash.

English-speaking buyers who want a clear, honest and practical guide to the Italian process.
