The Law Firm Filippi Michele, Esq. & Partners, with the support of trusted real estate agents, tax advisors, and other qualified professionals, provides foreign clients with a comprehensive and integrated service in the real estate sector. The assistance includes property search and selection, specialized legal advice, representation during property viewings, as well as support with all administrative and tax requirements related to the purchase or lease of real estate in Italy.
This service has been developed in response to the growing demand from clients residing abroad, who turn to the Firm for assistance in preparing the documentation required to apply for an elective residence visa.
Among the main challenges faced by foreign clients living abroad in carrying out real estate transactions in Italy are geographical distance, limited familiarity with Italian law, and the complexity of bureaucratic procedures.
Professional services are provided upon the granting of a specific consultancy mandate to the Firm and include:
● legal analysis of the reciprocity conditions governing real estate purchases between Italy and the client’s country of origin, also in light of applicable international treaties;
● property search and selection (scouting), aimed at identifying solutions that meet the client’s needs, carried out also through carefully selected and reliable real estate agents;
● representation during property viewings, with on-site inspections conducted directly by our team, including the preparation of detailed photographic and video materials, as well as the possibility of remote participation via video calls;
● assistance in immigration law matters, aimed at obtaining entry visas (tourism or business), allowing the client to travel to Italy, visit properties, conduct negotiations, and proceed with the execution of preliminary and final purchase or lease agreements;
● support in contractual negotiations and ongoing assistance throughout all stages of the real estate transaction, from property selection to the execution of the final agreement;
● assistance, through trusted tax advisors, with all tax and fiscal obligations related to the purchase or lease of real estate.
If the mandate is executed abroad, it must be signed before a notary, translated, and legalized, or apostilled in accordance with the Hague Convention of 1961. The Law Firm Michele Filippi, Esq. & Partners is able to provide full support and legal advice in this regard.
