Deed of Sale: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Deed of Sale works in Italy to legally transfer property ownership from a seller to a buyer.
A Deed of Sale, often referred to locally as a Rogito, is the legal document used to officially transfer the ownership of a property from a seller to a buyer.
Who it's for
This process is required for all individuals involved in a property transaction, including both the buyers and the sellers.
What you get
By completing this legal process, the buyer receives the official transfer of the property title, ensuring they are the recognized legal owner.
What it costs you
There are several costs associated with this process. You will need to pay notary fees, which can vary depending on the transaction, as well as required registration taxes.
The catch to know
It is important to remember that a notary is a public official acting on behalf of the state to ensure the legality of the sale; they are not an employee of your real estate agent.
How to apply
- Agree on the terms of the sale with the seller.
- Consult with a notary to prepare the necessary documentation.
- Attend the formal signing to finalize the transfer.
