INVEST ABROAD
Invest in property in Italy.
Italy rewards specific knowledge: Tuscany and the lakes for estates with restoration potential, Milan as the country's most liquid city market, the Amalfi Coast and Sardinia for scarce coastal stock. Renovation projects — from farmhouse to palazzo — are a defining feature of the market.

How buying works in Italy
Factual notes on the purchase process — no advice, always verify the current rules with your own advisers.
- Purchase deeds pass before a notary; the preliminary contract (compromesso) usually carries a 10–20% deposit
- Registration tax on resale homes is 9% of the cadastral value for non-residents (2% for primary residence), plus fixed fees; new build carries VAT
- Cadastral values often sit below market prices, which affects the effective tax base
- Renovations can require permits (SCIA/CILA); approved plans materially affect feasibility and timeline
Where buyers look
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy property in Italy?
Yes — EU citizens without restriction; most other nationalities under reciprocity rules. The notary executes the deed and registers the transfer.
Why do Italian listings often mention cadastral value?
Several Italian taxes are levied on the cadastral value rather than the price. It usually sits below market value, which is why the effective tax burden can differ from the headline rate.
Does Onora list Italian renovation projects?
Yes — the Buy to Renovate filter surfaces them. Sellers state the property condition explicitly, and projected figures always carry their assumptions.
