Owning a Home in Italy? The Real Work Begins After the Purchase
Many believe that buying property abroad is the final milestone in a long journey. The dream is fulfilled — a villa in Rome, a lakeside apartment on Lake Como, or a sunlit home on the coast of Tuscany. It feels like the perfect time to relax and enjoy the Italian lifestyle…
But the reality is different.
The moment the notarial deed is signed, a new phase begins — one filled with ongoing responsibilities: utility bills, tax filings, technical maintenance, seasonal prep, legal correspondence, security, staff management… and that’s just the start.
And while most buyers have a full team supporting them during the transaction — agent, lawyer, translator — once the deal is closed, they’re often left on their own.
For non-resident owners, particularly those based abroad, this quickly becomes overwhelming. Managing a home from across the world is not just stressful — it’s risky.
Who Will Look After Your Property When You’re Not There?
Here are just a few real-world scenarios we’ve seen from new clients:
🔹 “I started getting official letters in Italian I couldn’t understand — some looked urgent.”
🔹 “We left for a few weeks. When we came back, the gas was shut off — the bill wasn’t paid.”
🔹 “It’s been years since I last saw the house. I’m not even sure if the heating still works.”
🔹 “Every time we visit, it’s a scramble: cleaning, fixing, turning everything back on — it’s exhausting.”
🔹 “I want to apply for residency but don’t know where to start. Everything is in Italian.”
These situations — and countless others — are common for foreign property owners in Italy who don’t have local support.
