Purchasing as first or second home

Sometimes this is a real dilemma, because it means that you must decide to come and live in Italy within a year (if you are purchasing with a mortgage) or within a year and a half otherwise. First and foremost, this means changing your place of residence, residence permits are easily obtainable for citizens of EU member states (British citizens included) and they will normally be issued within six months for citizens from non-EU member states.

You should also bear in mind that if you are purchasing the property as a first home then everything will be less expensive – this includes electricity, water and gas charges for example. But above all, the taxes on the purchase of the property will be less: 3% rather than 10% on the cadastral value. The cadastral value can be obtained from the cadastral survey that you will get from the Notary public.

Let’s take a look at an example
