Everything you need to know to buy, sell and invest in real estate in Italy
Italian law places no restrictions on foreign citizens purchasing property in Italy. Whether you are buying, renting, or investing, the process follows a clear legal framework that protects both buyer and seller.
Purchasing requires an Italian tax code (codice fiscale), obtainable through the Revenue Agency or an Italian Consulate abroad. The typical process moves from property search to preliminary agreement, legal checks and mortgage arrangements if needed, and concludes with the notary signing, usually within two to three months.
After purchase, property registration is completed automatically within 30 days. Ownership transfers immediately upon signing.
