Buyer's guide: Italy
Buying property in Italy means choosing among 55,500 current listings on RealEstateAbroad with a median asking price of €225,000, from Alpine chalets to Sicilian townhouses. Prices swing sharply between prestige cities like Milan and Florence and the villages of the south. This guide sets out the numbers, the rules for foreigners and the steps from offer to deed.
Italy property market snapshot
The data below comes from current listings on RealEstateAbroad and shows asking prices. Half of priced listings are between €110,000 and €450,000. Italian homes are often larger and older than the European average: the median listing is 130 m², and five-bedroom-plus homes (19,246 listings) are the largest bedroom group because of the many farmhouses and villas.

Can foreigners buy property in Italy?
EU citizens have the same rights as Italians. Non-EU citizens can buy under a reciprocity principle, meaning their country of nationality must allow Italians to buy there. Most countries qualify, but confirm with a lawyer. There is no residency requirement to purchase.
- Get a codice fiscale (tax code) from the Agenzia delle Entrate or consulate.
- Make a written offer (proposta d'acquisto) with a good-faith deposit. When the seller accepts it, the offer becomes binding.
- Sign the preliminary contract (compromesso) and pay a deposit, usually 10% to 30%.
- Do due diligence. Your lawyer or technical surveyor (geometra) checks cadastral records, building permits, energy certificate and mortgages.
- Sign the deed (rogito) before a notary, who verifies title and collects taxes.
- Register the deed; the notary normally files it for you.
Costs and taxes
Italian purchase taxes depend on whether you buy a main residence or second home and on whether the seller is a developer. Figures are approximate; verify locally.
| Cost | Typical amount |
|---|---|
| Registration tax on resale, second home | Approx. 9% of cadastral value (2% for a qualifying main residence) |
| VAT on new-build from a developer | Approx. 4% main residence, 10% second home, 22% luxury categories, plus fixed registration taxes |
| Notary fees | Approx. €2,000 to €5,000 depending on price and complexity |
| Agent commission | Approx. 3% plus VAT from each side |
| Legal and technical checks | Approx. €1,500 to €4,000 |
| Annual property tax (IMU) | Applies to second homes; based on cadastral value, with rates set by each municipality |
| Rental income | Flat tax option of 21% (10% on certain regulated leases) |
Mortgages and financing
Italian banks lend to non-residents but are conservative. Typical loan-to-value for non-residents is around 50% to 60%, and Italian lenders will want income proof, tax returns and a valuation. Loans are available at fixed or variable rates, and many buyers prefer fixed after the rate moves of recent years. Test the numbers in the mortgage calculator and see our Italy financing guide.
Residency and tax incentives
Property alone does not qualify for the Italian investor visa, which targets investments in government bonds, companies or philanthropy. Retirees and remote workers should look at the elective residence visa for those with passive income, and a flat-rate tax regime for new residents. A special 7% flat tax for foreign retirees who relocate to small southern towns has also been available. Confirm eligibility and current rules with an Italian tax adviser. Our Italy buying guide lists the professionals involved.
Pros and cons
Advantages
- Extraordinary variety: lakes, mountains, cities, coasts and islands.
- Wide price range, including inexpensive southern and rural homes.
- Deep rental demand in tourist hubs and cities.
- Reliable notary system for title transfer.
Drawbacks
- Bureaucracy and slow processes.
- Renovation costs and energy-efficiency upgrades on older buildings.
- Registry and permit problems with some rural properties.
- Non-residents face tighter mortgage terms.
The cheapest Italian houses are rarely the cheapest to own: build the renovation, permit and tax costs into the price before you compare regions.

Buying property in Italy: FAQ
Can foreigners buy property in Italy?
Yes. EU citizens buy on the same terms as Italians, and non-EU citizens can buy where reciprocity exists between their country and Italy. You do not need to be resident.
How much does property cost in Italy?
The median asking price on current RealEstateAbroad listings is €225,000, with half of priced listings between €110,000 and €450,000. Milan and Bolzano are among the most expensive; Campobasso and Potenza are among the cheapest.
What taxes do I pay when buying a house in Italy?
On a resale, the registration tax is about 9% of the cadastral value for a second home or 2% for a main residence. Buying new from a developer triggers VAT instead. Add notary and agent fees.
Can non-residents get a mortgage in Italy?
Yes, but loan-to-value ratios are usually 50% to 60% for non-residents. Banks ask for income documentation and an approved valuation.
Does buying property in Italy give residency?
No. Italy does not grant residency for property purchase alone. Other routes include the elective residence visa, the investor visa and work or family permits.
Are there cheap houses in Italy?
Yes, especially in inland southern regions such as Molise and Basilicata, where median asking prices on RealEstateAbroad are under €100,000. Budget for renovation and legal checks.
Do I need a notary in Italy?
Yes. The notary is mandatory, verifies the title and registers the deed, but is neutral. Hire your own lawyer or surveyor to protect your interests.
