Buy an Apartment or House in Udine, Friuli

Udine has a Venetian-style historic centre around Piazza della Libertà, a hilltop castle, and university and hospital employment. The mountains of Carnia and the Julian Alps are within an hour, the beaches of Lignano and Grado are about 45 minutes, and Trieste and Venice are reachable by train or motorway.

Buyers are often local families, but cross-border workers, retirees and outdoor enthusiasts are increasingly looking too. For other regions with different price levels, see Perugia and Aosta, or Rome for capital-city pricing.

Italian transactions run through a notary, who checks title and cadastral status. Expect registration tax of around 2% of cadastral value for a main residence or 9% for second homes, plus notary and agent fees, though new-build VAT rules differ. Non-EU nationals can face a reciprocity requirement, so confirm eligibility.

Order a technical survey to confirm conformity with planning records, as mismatches are common in older houses. Our Italy buying guide and mortgage guide for Italy go deeper, and the Italy overview lists regions.
