What is the property buying process in Italy?
A typical Italy purchase follows:
(1) offer accepted,
(2) due diligence (title, mortgages/charges, planning and cadastral conformity),
(3) preliminary contract (compromesso) with deposit (caparra),
(4) mortgage/finance (if needed) and final checks,
(5) completion at the notary signing the deed (rogito) and transferring funds,
(6) notary registers ownership with the land registry and updates cadastral records.
In Italy, verifying urban planning + cadastral conformity (often with a geometra) is a major risk-reducer, especially for older homes.

What is a “Codice Fiscale” and why do I need it to buy in Italy?
The Codice Fiscale is your Italian tax code and it’s required for key steps in a property purchase—signing contracts, opening utilities, paying taxes, and often for banking. Many overseas buyers apply early because it can delay the preliminary contract (compromesso) and completion if it isn’t ready.
Your lawyer can usually guide the application process, or you can obtain it via the Italian tax office or consulate route depending on your situation.
