The selling process in Italy begins with appointing an estate agent, gathering property documents and obtaining a survey, then marketing the property and ultimately signing a public deed of sale before a notary. The process is highly formalised and typically takes four to six months from listing to completion, though this timeline can extend if documentation issues arise or capital gains tax considerations apply for properties sold within five years of purchase. Our team at Trevi Elite coordinates every phase from valuation through notarial closing, ensuring documentation meets the strict requirements international sellers face in the Italian market.
