Independent technical due diligence to assess a property in Italy before buying, estimate renovation works and reduce investment risks.
DGcert® offers a full range of technical services to support you when buying property in Italy, helping you avoid hidden issues that could lead to unexpected costs, delays or loss of value.
From property due diligence to feasibility studies, and from renovation cost estimates to market value assessments, each service provides you with a clear and detailed analysis of the property — before you commit to buying
Why DGcert® is essential in the buying process
In Italy, notaries are responsible for formal checks and for recording the seller’s declarations about planning and cadastral compliance — but they do not carry out any technical inspections.
Similarly, estate agents focus on closing the deal and are not qualified to assess the condition or compliance of the property. Finally, when buying with a mortgage, the bank typically requires a property valuation for loan security purposes. However, these are often standardised assessments that do not provide a comprehensive technical review of the property’s condition.
DGcert® fills this critical gap by offering independent technical assessments that go beyond formalities. We help you identify hidden issues, check for potential non-compliances, and understand the real state of the property— before you sign.
