Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Can foreigners buy property in Italy? Are there visa requirements?
Yes. Non-EU citizens (including UK, US, Canadian, and Australian buyers) can purchase property in Italy freely — there are no restrictions on foreign ownership. You do not need a visa to buy. However, if you plan to reside in Italy for more than 90 days per year, you will need to apply for a residency visa (such as the Elective Residency Visa or the new Digital Nomad Visa). Sicara can connect you with specialist immigration advisors.
What is the typical purchase process and timeline?
The Italian property purchase follows a clear legal sequence: (1) Offer letter (proposta d'acquisto) — typically 1–2 weeks; (2) Preliminary contract (compromesso) with a 10–20% deposit paid — 2–4 weeks; (3) Final notarial deed (atto di rogito / atto notarile) and key handover — 6–10 weeks after compromesso. Total timeline from accepted offer to keys: typically 2–4 months. Sicara manages and coordinates every stage.
How much are notary fees and purchase taxes in Italy?
Budget an additional 8–12% on top of the purchase price for all buying costs. This includes: cadastral and mortgage taxes (2% for primary residence, 9% for second home), notary fees (€2,000–€5,000 depending on property value), legal fees (typically 1–2%), and agent fees if applicable. Sicara provides a full, itemised cost breakdown for every property before you proceed.
Can foreigners own 100% of a property in Italy?
Yes, 100% foreign ownership is fully permitted in Italy with no restrictions. You can purchase in your personal name, jointly with a partner, or through a company structure. There are no minimum stays required to maintain ownership. Your property can be rented short-term (Airbnb, Booking.com) or long-term.
How does Sicara help international buyers?
We act exclusively as your buyer's agent — we are never tied to a seller or developer. We handle property search, remote video viewings, due diligence, offer negotiation, legal coordination with your notary, and post-purchase support (rental setup, renovation, utilities, codice fiscale). We charge a flat buyer representation fee — no hidden commissions.
What makes Agrigento a compelling buy right now?
Agrigento combines exceptional fundamentals: UNESCO Valley of the Temples driving year-round international tourism, Italian Capital of Culture 2025 status triggering infrastructure investment and regeneration, and property prices still 50–70% below comparable locations in Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast. With growing demand from Northern European, American, and Australian buyers, we are in the early stage of a repricing cycle.
Are there any fiscal incentives for buyers?
Several. Italy's flat-tax regime (Regime Forfettario) allows qualifying non-domiciled HNW individuals to pay a fixed €100,000/year tax on worldwide income for up to 15 years. Some Sicilian municipalities operate €1 home renovation schemes. Buyers registering as primary residents pay reduced transfer tax (2% rather than 9%). Sicara can connect you with specialist Italian tax advisors.
