Dreaming of Buying a Home in Italy? Start Here.
Buying property in Italy is exciting, and it is nothing like buying a house anywhere else. The Wavehappy Starter Guide is the one I wish someone had handed me before I signed for my first apartment in Ortigia.
What's inside
Everything I wish I'd known first
- How the Italian buying process actually works, start to finish
- The professionals you'll need on your team, and when to bring each one in
- The real costs to budget for, beyond the sale price
- Questions to ask before you make an offer
- Common surprises and mistakes foreign buyers run into
- Lessons from buying and renovating two properties in Sicily myself
I've now bought and renovated two properties here, an apartment in Ortigia and, this year, sixteen acres of olive trees outside Noto. Most of what I know, I learned by getting it wrong first. This guide is the shortcut.
