Due Diligence

When buying property in Italy, due diligence is essential to verify the true condition of the asset and avoid costly mistakes.
It is a structured technical assessment carried out before purchase to check planning compliance, building permissions and cadastral consistency, ensuring that official records accurately reflect the actual state of the property.

Due diligence involves reviewing the property’s planning history in Italy, including building permits and authorisations, combined with a property inspection to verify that it has been constructed and altered in accordance with approved documentation.

The goal is to detect any irregularities or unauthorised alterations that may lead to legal issues or limit the property’s use or resale potential.

In Italy, a significant share of properties presents building irregularities — an aspect that, if not properly verified, can lead to legal complications, additional costs or limitations on the use of the property.

For this reason, due diligence plays a crucial role when buying a property. It allows you to identify issues that are not typically covered by standard legal or notarial checks, providing a clear understanding of the property’s actual status and enabling informed, risk-aware decisions.
