How a Lawyer Can Help With Your Property Purchase in Italy
Before you sign, through completion and after your purchase.
One Legal Adviser, With Specialist Support Where Needed
I review the legal documents, explain the proposed commitments in English and advise on questions that need clarification. This can include due diligence, contract review, negotiation and coordination towards the notarial deed.
Where a purchase requires technical assessments or specialist input, I coordinate with surveyors, architects, notaries and other relevant professionals. Their specialist assessments remain their responsibility. Legal assistance does not replace a building survey or technical inspection; specialist work and third-party costs are clarified within the proposed engagement.
