Investment Advisory for Property in Italy
Property Search
Property Search and Due Diligence
Investment properties based on defined criteria: location, size, use type, budget. The search covers the open market, the network and direct owner contacts — including properties that are not publicly listed.
After the shortlist, due diligence is coordinated with lawyer, architect and geometra. Ownership, planning law, cadastre and potential encumbrances are checked before an offer is made.
What separates a good investment from a bad one? The calculation before the purchase.

Investment Advisory Questions
Who is this advisory service for?
Investors from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and internationally who are looking for hospitality properties in Italy: hotels, agriturismi, holiday rentals with income potential. About 40-50% of my clients aim to generate rental income, most combine lifestyle with investment.
What does the due diligence process include?
Technical and legal review of the property — building permits, cadastral floor plans compared with the actual layout, landscape protection orders and agricultural pre-emption rights. For rural properties, a land-use certificate is also required. Coordinated with lawyer and surveyor on the ground.
How long does the entire purchase process take?
From offer to key handover: 3 to 6 months. The Proposta d'Acquisto becomes binding within 1–2 weeks, due diligence runs in parallel over 2–3 months, and the Rogito (notarial deed) follows 2–4 months after the preliminary contract.
What are the acquisition costs?
For private purchases: 9% registration tax on the cadastral value (2% for Prima Casa), plus €50 each for mortgage and cadastral tax. Add notary fees (€1,500–3,000), technical assessment (€1,500–5,000) and broker commission. In the luxury segment, commission is typically 1–3% plus VAT.
Do you have access to off-market properties?
Yes. Through my local network of notaries, lawyers and architects, I learn about properties before they appear on portals. Especially in the segment above €1M, many transactions are handled discreetly.
What returns are realistic?
Gross 5–8% for vacation rentals, net around 3% after platform fees (15–20%), management (10–25%) and maintenance. Based on 18–25 weeks occupancy, weekly rent €2,000–8,000 in high season.
