Buying in Abruzzo, Italy

Tips on buying in Italy

  • Many older properties were built without planning permission. If it hasn't been granted retrospectively, you'll need to pay a fee to get it.
  • The government charge is 10 per cent if you're a non-resident, 4 per cent if you get Italian residency.
  • Visit the property in and out of season or you may find you're the only person in the village during the winter!
