Additional Costs
Luxury homes, as defined by Italian property law, do not qualify for the concessionary rate of tax (currently 3%) available to residents, or those intending to establish residence within a year, buying their first house.
In these cases purchase tax will be applied at 10% of the ‘valore catastale’, calculated according to a number of assessment criteria which often results in a figure considerably below the purchase price
Agency fees are normally 3% of the purchase price, + IVA (currently 20%)
If an architect or geometra is employed, charges are generally calculated on a time-related basis. It is advisable to obtain quotes for any major works or renovation projects
Villatua would like to point out that the majority of house prices are negotiable.
