BUYING A PROPERTY IN ITALY: Italian Lawyer's Advice on Real Estate & Home Renovations

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you for watching. For those who are keen to dream but not necessarily in the market to buy, I included over 160 cutaways throughout the interview to give you some visual escapism. You can find Michele’s site at www.capecchilegal.com For viewers who might wish to skip to specific topics, I’ve made a little index here: TAXES 01:21 RESIDENCY 02:57 BUYING WITHOUT BEING IN ITALY 03:09 BUYING WHILE STILL A TOURIST 03:58 DOES BUYING GIVE ME PERMIT TO STAY 04:09 HOW REALISTIC IS UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN 05:12 LAWS ON RENOVATING 06:48 HOW LONG DOES A SALE TAKE 09:07 WHO SHOULD YOU HIRE FOR THE WHOLE PROCESS 11:35 QUESTIONS FOR YOUR LAWYER 13:09 GETTING PERMITS 14:49 FINE ARTS RESTRICTIONS WITH HISTORIC PROPERTIES 19:02 FIRST RIGHT REFUSAL LAW 21:09 1 EURO HOMES 21:56 WHO IS BUYING 24:43 NEGOTIATION 28:16 THE PROPOSAL 28:53

Michele gives good advice on buying real estate in Italy. We bought a property in Tuscany (Pontremoli) in 2017 and used Nicholas Metta in Philadelphia as our attorney. While Nick lives in the US (outside of Philadelphia), he is Italian, licensed in Italy and part of a Italian firm. He was able to inspect all of the transaction documents and provide us with both good answers to our questions and assurance that everything was correct. I would easily recommend Nick for American buyers looking for a US-based attorney.

this is so so so amazing. you don't only inspire us to dream big and to think that everything is possible, but you always bring the reality in in such a beautiful way so that we can plan and account for both dreamy and difficult parts of achieving the dream, which is so damn important. as an expat who started just like you, from zero, all alone and confused, I have to say that the difficulties that "no one told you about" can be so disheartening and defeating. being prepared for both good and bad is such a luxury that you're selflessly providing to us and I'm so so grateful for you Kylie

If you haven't already done so and I just missed it, could you please do a show on "How to find the perfect home in Italy". You could base it on Countryside, cost of living, or whatever you want, you are the pro.🙂

Wonderful channel and great information. My wife and I hope to meet you and Michele Capecchi during our future adventure of purchasing an Italian property.

I think Important to also know is Real estate get a percentage like in all countries, bu the percentage in Italy is up to 7%. In Ireland, for example, it is not a legal requirement to use one, but it's a much lower percentage of 1-1.25% in general. Just thought it should be taken into account. Michele Capecchi's english is excellent, and he is a fountain of knowledge, thank you.

NEVER give up on your dreams !!! They can and do come true and I have proof of that. But of course action on your part is what is needed. Sitting on one's butt🤣 doesn't usually bring results. This episode may sound a bit complicated ,but in actual fact isn't,at least not the part in buying a house( more so when restoring older properties, waiting for permissions)as the notary is a professional who checks everything out for you about that property. Anyone interested in buying in Italy I have a property for sale bordering Tuscany. Another fabulous video from Kylie. Bravissima !!!❣️

Thank you Kylie, this was not Only full of Great Legal advice. But, with beautiful scenery of Land as well as Older properties That may or may not have been Renovated yet. I Love the way You film everything. In my opinion, It's the properties that need the most Work that are the most beautiful. All of Italy is so magical, I find Beauty in everything I see there. Sending you Love and Hugs Also hoping you have a wonderful Relaxing weekend. 💖💖💖💖
