ITALIAN REAL ESTATE LAWYERS
About this episode

Navigating the Italian real estate landscape requires a thorough understanding of various factors including residency status, international reciprocal laws, and local tax incentives. For instance, your ability to purchase a vehicle in Italy is closely tied to your residency status. Similarly, international reciprocal laws can impact your ability to purchase property in Italy, as seen in the recent changes affecting Canadian buyers. Establishing residency is a straightforward process, especially for EU citizens, and comes with its own set of benefits, particularly for first-time home buyers. Italy offers various One Euro House Programs, providing a distinctive opportunity to own property at a nominal price. However, each program has its own set of requirements and doesn't automatically grant residency or citizenship. Understanding these aspects can significantly smooth your journey in the Italian real estate market. In this episode of the Italian Real Estate Podcast, Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia cover questions asked by viewers/listeners of the podcast.
