- Everything you need to know about buying Italian Property as a foreigner. Join me for lunch as I explain how to purchase Italian real estate. Whether you're looking to buy a luxury Italian villa, a farmhouse in Tuscany or a second home in Italy, this video will outline the buying process. There's a lot to cover and it's the longest video I have ever made. You will need drinks and nibbles. Best wishes, Nick.
If you have any other questions please make your comments below or send us an email.
Please note: The information supplied in this video is for information only and must not be relied upon as fact. Italian laws do change. At the time of publication this overview of purchasing Italian property is taken from my own 19 year's of experience of working in the Italian real estate industry.
The restaurant where I had lunch is called Enoteca Dei Sensi, Via N. Aggiunti, 1/2, Sansepolcro. Tuscany. Call 0039 0575953763. I had pasta carbonara, mixed salad, a bottle of water, one glass of house red, which was delicious and a coffee. Total cost 23,50 euros. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
My name is Nick Ferrand and I love Italian architecture, Italian design, Italian property and all things Italian.

All I can say Nick is that is one hell of a video in terms of its content and intention... bravissimo!! You relayed the complexities really well and added your usual humour which is always a winner. Really really enjoyed this and am confident it will help many of us who strive to move to Italia!
That’s so kind Chris. Thank you so much. Happy New Year. 🙏 Nick.
@@italianproperty my pleasure old chum!
This is the general "nuts and bolts" of purchasing property in Italy video many of us have been waiting for. Thanks for providing the steps, financials and legalities in buying our dream Italian properties. I have this sudden urge for a plate of pasta and a glass of wine...
Love your comment. Thank you. 😊 🙏 Nick.
this "one on one" is such a plus because unanswered questions just dangle but this puts possibilities and reality right on the table where it belongs! we know that dreams, to become real, have definite steps to take so your clarifying with pertinent answers can sure help people realize their hopes for their own spot in this marvelous part of the world. good job with the tours and with the business at hand! --- helpfulness to secure someone's, anyone's, desire for their place under the sun in beautiful italy!
Thank you so much Andre. ❤️😊🙏 Nick.
one thing nobody talks about that is likely very different in Italy than the US where I am is furniture: getting new large stuff delivered and removing or disposing of large items. I rather get a place furnished, and while I likely get rid of a lot of the furniture over time to accommodate my own taste, it allows me time to do it rather than running on day one to get a bed, chairs, glasses, spoons, etc. Nobody tells you the equivalent to Home Depot or Amazon, etc. to start.
Very interesting comment and one I didn’t mention, but a lot of these house are sold with the contents. I’ll mention it in another video. Thank you. 🙏 😊 Nick.
@@italianproperty true. Almost always it is foreigners that the house as a seasonal or second home. Italian will remove even cabinets on their way out leaving kitchens as a bare room😂😂 Makes no sense at all to me, but it is a cultural thing I guess that makes the buying end far more unattractive and difficult. It is what it is I guess!
Thank you for taking your time to educate us. I’m sure your confidence boosted everyone’s who was lucky enough to watch it. If God ever puts me in his good graces enough that I am able to move to Italy, no one else will handle my purchase. Never stop filming. We love it!!!
❤️ Thanks Steven. 🙏 😊 Nick.
I'm overwhelmed with the variety of costs and living considerations. If I went any further, I would use a relocation service. I've bought a few houses and have handled a few estate settlements and this is a complicated procedure and timeline that also involves travel. I'm not sure about those, who say this is like buying a house in their own country, as the language barrier has enough anxiety on its own. Thank you very much for spending time with use to do this.
Thank you. 🙏 😊 Nick.
Lunch with Nick! Could start to trend. Great setting and highly informative video. I feel that I have chosen the right company, certainly the right people, in my real estate transaction. As I approach the conclusion of my dream purchase, I can say from experience that Nick, Carla, and everyone else at the Abode Italy office have gone above and beyond my expectations. Listen to what the man says. He knows what he is doing.
Thanks Brian. Looking forward to sharing a glass of Chianti with you. 🙏 Nick.
have a great 2023 Nick .. please dont stop the vids .. I ALWAYS look forward in watching them .. brilliant that they are bless from Birmingham UK .
Thanks Mike. Happy New Year to you. 🙏 Nick.
Good morning Nick, Steve from Brambletye here in Abruzzo enjoyed your vlog about buying in Italy and shared a glass with you, we bought our house a few years ago and started a building company all above board in order to complete the house restoration which we are working on now. I thought your advice was as honest and as transparent as it could be, its hard to explain in real terms how to negotiate the administrative processes here in Italy but persistence pays off. The process of buying our porperty was exactly the same process as you described and its great information for anyone intending to move to Italy. Bravo Steve Lynn and Button
Thank you so much Steve. 🙏 Happy New Year to you, lynn and Button. Nick. PS: Really appreciate your message.
HNY Nick! Another great video! This one’s invaluable.

Dear Nick and Team, thank you for your totally informative advice regarding purchasing properties in Italy. I'm the Tour Manager for central Europe living in NZ feeling totally out of place. Anyway, dealing with terminal since 2016 WM & BN rare cancer have come to terms with "life is what we make it to be". Love all of your totally informative films considering you would normally charge a novis for your knowledge. Thank you. I'm of five ethnic groups and fell in love with Italy during my first tour as a manager from Germany.
Have relatives also in Italy however they don't know about me yet! Promote Italy, cook it and eat it.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Thank you for your very kind message. Most appreciated. ❤️ 🙏 Nick.
You have done a beautiful job of explaining it all to us.
Thank you 🙏
Wow, what a wonderful video filled with such useful information and guidance. I really appreciate this and have watch many of your property video in hopes of one day living in Italy. Thank you.
Pleasure. ❤️🙏😊 Nick.
Thank you for this video. You have presented a comprehensive case for avoiding the complexities and potential deceptions of buying a property in Italy.
This is such a great video. I've come across a lot of content out there which can leave you quite confused and feeling a bit overwhelmed about the whole process. Thank you for putting my dreams back on track!
Pleasure Sam. Very kind. 🙏 😊 Nick.
Hi Nick, Happy New Year to you.... Enjoyed this video. I've never bought a property before so I was a bit cross eyed by all the info, but I did get the idea of the process. Thanks for laying it out so clearly. The pasta looked delicious ; )
Yes it was. Happy New Year Myrna. ❤️ Nick.
Another brilliant video packed with superb information. Thank you Nick.
Pleasure. 🙏😊❤️
@@italianproperty Hi Nick, we are looking at purchasing a property in around Tuscany area. We have a good budget.
Have sent an email to your office. But didn’t get a response yet.
Can you please provide your direct email address.
Thanks
William
One of the best videos on property purchase that we have watched. Loved the workings of the Osteria staff and that excellent food.
Thanks Mark. Best wishes, Nick. 🙏
A great insight Nick and a few things I did not know. Thank you so much and happy new year 🎉
Pleasure Carl. You too. N.
Fantastic and really helpful. Thank you. I now just have to find the house!!
Love the mise en scene, Nick. Also helpful for property buyers in Italy, of course.
❤️ N.
This is excellent information. Thank you!
I am buying a house in Italy and I know a lot of what needs to be done (at least I think so), but this video was super informative and really filled in the gaps in my knowledge.
It for sure helps the way you explain it, clear, concise and humourous.
I will be subscribing and looking forward to your next videos.
Thank you very much. 🙏 Best wishes, Nick.
Absolutely fascinating! Great format, loved the restaurant and your carbonara ... enjoyed the proprietor/waiter in the background. It would be interesting to know the cost of the surveys as here in France surveys are not that common, okay they should be, but aren't. Great episode! Have a prosperous 2023!
Thanks Mike. On average and depending on the size of the property it’s about €1,200. Best wishes, Nick. 🙏
Brilliant content Nick! Thank you so much for sitting down with us and explaining the process of house buying in Italy. Very informative, casual, and entertaining. Your love and passion for Italy are infectious! When in Rome, do as the Romans do and like most things in life, no pain, no gain!
Thank you. ❤️ Nick.
Thank you for all the information Nick, 😎
Its 1.42am Nick, will catch you in the morning. 🍳🥓🥐☕❤🇭🇲🦘
Love this! So insightful, thank you!
Fantastic video,really informative,thank you for doing this,and happy new year
Pleasure. 🙏 Best wishes, Nick.
This was a wonderful and very informative video. Well done!
Thank you Suzanne. ❤️ Nick.
Nick! Spectacular! How kind of you to teach us how it's done.
❤️ Thank you. ❤️ Nick.
Thank you Nick. This video was very useful. As we are thinking about buying a property in Perugia this information is much appreciated.
Thank you. 🙏 Nick.
So helpful - thank you very much. Working on getting my ducks in a row so I'm in a position to buy. And I'm hoping you will be able to help me when the time comes. All the best for 2023 and I'm looking forward to your upcoming property tours. They're the best! 🙂
Thank you. ❤️ 🙏 Happy New Year. Nick.
KINDNESS. Thank you Nick, for your generosity in making this comprehensive video.
It was also fun to see the people who work at that restaurant.
I had to pause it and run upstairs to make myself some pasta( bronze cut authentic Italian) with shrimp and olive oil, and to pour myself a glass of very good Washington state wine, to have whilst we dined together, once I started it up again.
As a realtor in Italy, you definitely earn every penny you make, your clients are lucky to have you.
Wonderful video..prosperity to you in 2023.
Thanks so kind. Your pasta sounds yummy. ❤️ Happy New Year. 🙏 Nick.
Buying a house - everybody stands around you with their hands out. ;-)
A fantastic and detailed description of the complexities, timelines, people, and costs involved!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏😊😊 best wishes, Nick.
Just watched this again, six months after the first time viewing it. It is such a clear articulation of the Italian buying process - unlike any other source I’ve found.
Thank you very much. Best wishes, Nick.
Thank you so much! A bit more difficult than I thought, but possible!
Brilliant and informative video.... Extremely helpful... Thank you for putting this together
Thank you Sarah. Best wishes, Nick 🙏
Dear Nick, thank you for that eye opening and very educational video about buying property abroad. You did a terrific job of pointing out the time, pros and cons, highs and lows, fees, fees and more fees of buying property in Italy. Your lunch looked delicioioso. Hope you could enjoy it in between your video lecture.
Pleasure Dolores. ❤️ Thanks for watching. 😊 Nick.
Thankyou Nick, for this terrific film. For all the information, the tips and good advice.
If I may add on a personal note, I love Italy too, and have spent some time living there. I always want to go back. Oone of the most important aspects of being anywhere is the people. I so agree with your personal, and open-hearted advice. So many Italians, that I have known, and met in many different situations, have been decorous, attentive, graceful, warm-hearted and welcoming. Italians are very often, on so many occasions, also, naturally, spontaneously affectionate. It is part of the beauty of the experience of being in Italy.
You convey so much of these aspects to us, Nick, as well as taking us on fascinating and enticing property-tours. It's one-take, because you do it so well, and so warmly for us, and it's always just right, first time.
Happy New Year and best right through, to everyone on the channel.
John, Brussels
I can’t thank you enough John for your amazing comment. It really made my day. Happy New Year to you. 🙏 Best wishes, Nick.
Love the mix of professional and personal - while, of course, you need to keep bits of life private, it's good to get a glimpse of the real you too, but mixed in with the fact you are a professional property expert, and this is, after all is said and done, TH-cam.
Great video, great advice, great to see you looking so happy.
Happy New Year to you and yours, may your 2023 be healthy, wealthy and most of all, a lot of fun.
Thank you. 🙏 Happy New Year. Nick.
Fantastic Nick. The process sounds just like I was expecting. Very similar steps in Canada. Good to know about the resident non resident tax percentage difference. Otherwise straight forward. This restaurant looks divine!
It is. 🙏❤️😊N.
Lovely having lunch with you, Nick. What a wonderful place (your pasta looked amazing). I hope you tipped your patient waitress well. 💰Thank you for your time and the education regarding the rules of purchase with all of the many tidbits regarding the processes. The most important tidbit was the "Golden Rule" and that to treat others as you would want to be treated is the simplest requirement for a happy life. Hold that rule close to your heart in all aspects of your daily existence and you will be just fine! ❤❤❤❤xoxo
Absolutely ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you. 🙏 Nick.
Thank you so much for this Nick.. very important information that I guess most wouldn’t be aware of.. when I’m ready, I’ll definitely revisit this.. have a great weekend and as always looking forward to next week..PS: that carbonara looked amazing 🤤 ciao 🇮🇹🇦🇺
Thank you Andriano. Yes, it was delicious. Happy New Year to you. Best wishes, Nick.
Thank you so much for all this information.
Another great video on the entire process. 👍 Can't wait to visit Italy this year. This time in Puglia.
I’m at the airport boarding a plane to Puglia. 😊 Nick.
Thank you, thank you Nick, most informative.
Pleasure. 🙏
Super video Nick. Happiest New Year wishes for you and your family💗
You too. ❤️ N.
@@italianproperty 🙏🏼grazieee mille💗😘
Excellent Nick
Thank you
Well done!👍🥰 Happy New Year to you Nick….
You rock Nick !!! Keep the videos coming !!!
Thank you Jonathan. 🙏 Nick.
Happy New Year Nick! Wow lunch with Nick, that carbonara looked amazing!! The restaurant staff was giving strange looks like what is this guy doing, ha. Thanks for the shout out, cheers Kirk
Hi Kirk, I did ask beforehand 😂 Crazy guy talking to a camera for 45 minutes! 😃 Happy New Year to you. Best regards, Nick. 🙏
Thanks Nick, Very Interesting & Informative video. Marvelous~ Love n Blessings to Everyone~
Great video . Thank you Nick 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you for watching 🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏
In a video I watched it said that to become a resident you need to learn to read and speak Italian as well they test you to be sure you can within a year of application is this true? This video may burst some people’s balloon about moving there. Great video Nick 🍻
Hi Joe, I don’t believe that’s true. I know if you seek citizenship you need to speak Italian, but I expect that’s the same for any country globally. Have a great weekend. 🙏 Nick.
Very helpful, thank you Nick !
Nick, thank you for this very informative video! My wife and I are thinking of relocating to Tuscany specifically as I am wanting to retire to a place where I can cycle! We also love the Italian culture, food and general way of life. We will definitely come to Abode Italian Property when we are ready!
That’s very kind. ❤️ Have a great weekend. 🙏 Nick.
Thank you Nick. Great video
Ottimo. Very well done. I will pass this video on to people who will certainly find it invaluable. Many thanks.
That’s very kind. 🙏 ❤️ Nick.
By far the best and most informative video - and it's free! 😅 Thank you! Oh, and your laugh makes me laugh 😂
Glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️🙏 Best wishes, Nick.
Yes, I agree Chris. Nick, @italianproperty, it’s a very good and complete resource video for us hopefuls. 🤗
Hi, I always enjoy your chats - albeit I don't think I want to leave Wales for a new life in Italy.
But also did enjoy watching the people behind you
Thank you Leon. 🙏 Nick.
I've never seen anyone twirl their salad like pasta, very funny. Love your videos and THANK YOU for the excellent information. It's funny to see everyone looking at you while you're filming.
Happy New Year Nick. What no tiramisu? As usual, on point information and very entertaining.
Thank you so much! Great information! We are hoping to come to Italy spring of 2023! We will retire soon this August and would like to start looking at properties as soon as possible. I lived in Sicily for about 3 years in the late 90’s and fell in love with Italy!
Glad it was helpful. 🙏 😊 Nick.
Very helpful, thank you. Arriving mid-April & will visit Abruzzo, Le Marche, Emiglia Romagna & Veneto.
Great. Have a great trip. 🙏 Nick.
Thank you so much for all helpful information. That food looked soooooo good! I visited Italy in 2016 with my sister and everyday since I want to be back there! We are nearing retirement age and want to purchase an apartment or small house in a small town in Italy that we can spend good amounts of time in ourselves, and have it available for friends and family to use when we’re not. We haven’t settled on a region yet and need to return soon to do some exploring. We’re from the west coast of Canada so sadly we can’t go abroad as often and easily as we’d like. But your channel gives us a lovely link to that place we want spend more time in and we very much enjoy and appreciate your videos every week. ❤
Lovely message ❤️ Thank you. 🙏 Nick.
So informative…thanks Nick! Food looked delicious.
❤️ It was yummy. 😊 N.
Hi Nick, great video as always and what is the name of the restaurant in Sansepolcro-is that Albergo 'd'Orfeo?
Very informative info Nick. Happy New Years, cheers🍷
Thank you. You too. 🙏 N.
Great video! Thanks so much for going through all this!
Pleasure Thomas. 🙏 Nick.
Thanks Nick this was super helpful. 🙏
Pleasure 🙏🤗😊
Fantastic job! Great information. My wife and I just returned home from 6 weeks in Italy ( 5 days ago) which we do every year and have for quite some time. We are planning to eventually move to Italy and have already started that process. We plan on getting our citizenship prior to purchasing a home there. Your video seems to confirm that doing so will streamline some of the concerns , fees, and processes of purchasing property. We hope to work with you in achieving that goal soon. Lastly that Carbonara looked fantastic ! Always look forward to your uploads. Grazie Mille , John and Melissa
Thank you John and Melissa. I hope you had a fantastic trip. Happy New Year. Best wishes and please email us if you need further help. 🙏 Nick.
thank you for this very useful and essential information, will definitely call upon you once I am in a position to move to Italy
Thank you. 🙏 😊 Nick.
Thank you Nick, for the wonderful information. While I do understand that things in Italy (not only property buying) can sometimes take a bit longer than usual, it doesn't sound too wildly different than buying a house in the States. I've only recently (maybe a month ago?) subscribed to your channel, and I must say that some of the properties you have shown are very tempting. I spent time in Italy, mostly up and down the western part of the country, in 2001. I must come back, at least to visit, but I remember loving it there and it's a much nicer prospect than finishing out my retirement days in my current town. I'll keep watching and, perhaps, you will tempt me to sell my current home and move across the ocean. Or, if I do win the lottery, perhaps that decision will become much easier. Keep the great videos coming!
Hi Linda, Thank you for your message and thank you for subscribing. Best wishes, Nick. PS: Fingers crossed on that ticket.
Thank you Nick! ❤
Hi Nick!! Happy New Year!!!!!! OMG!!! You are eating great food and didn't invite me. Absolutely torture!!! Thanks for this GREAT VIDEO. I have watched others and the information often changes from one video to the next, but you were every thorough which leads me to believe this is how to go about it. I will definitely watch this again. Have to. Now I have to go and eat a second lunch because YOU made me hungry. I bet that ristorante you were in smelled great. When I'm ready to buy, I am coming over there to find you so you can be my agent. You are the BEST!!!
Thanks again,
Jersey Lou
Hi Jersey Lou, Fantastic message. ❤️ When you come I’ll take you there for lunch. 😊 Nick.
Thank you very much for the effort to make a video like this! It is a very hepful let me say guiide about purchasing a house in Italy.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Robert, it’s a pleasure. Best wishes,, Nick.
Excellent video. Everything that need to be known clearly explained
❤️ N.
Thanks Nick, extremely informative and clear, we are looking forward to arriving in Italy and buying a holiday home in Abruzzo next month. 👍
Congratulations Mark. 🙏 Nick.
@@italianproperty thanks very much, you take care Nick.
Time-wise, buying a home in the US can also be a lengthy process - more than 2 months beyond a written offer. In terms of inspections (surveys), we don't have rules or laws governing what constitutes a thorough home inspection. The good thing is, you have an opportunity to look at the home multiple times before closing (legal acquisition). And of course, you can include conditions as with any contract and a window in which to withdraw the offer or even decide not to close (with legal parameters met).
Great details. Thank you.
