Italy
Italy has been a favourite destination of overseas travellers for many years and the prospect of owning a property in the Bel Paese has great appeal to the international buyer.
Buying property in Italy can be a fairly straightforward operation provided you have the correct help and advice. However there can also be some unexpected complexities which require an expert lawyer to unravel.
In a property conveyance, from the preliminary contract until completion, the lawyer plays an essential role in determining whether the vendor is in fact free to sell the property and whether the purchaser may legitimately acquire it.
With our team of Italian Avvocati and English solicitors, we are perfectly placed to advise you on the all the aspects of buying your property in Italy, including capital gains tax liability, estate planning and inheritance tax planning issues. Our lawyers will also ensure the vendor's full ownership and that they are free to dispose of the property and investigate whether there are any mortgages, or other restrictions.
