What will you actually spend on an Italian property?

The number on the listing is never the number you pay. Registration tax, notary fees, agent commission, legal and geometra fees typically add 10–15% on top — and most buyers don't find that out until it's too late to plan for it.

What's inside — sample, €130,000 Prima Casa purchase
Registration taxfrom €1,000
Notary fees€1,500 – €3,000
Agent commission (incl. VAT)€4,758 – €6,344
Legal fees€1,500 – €3,000
Geometra fees€300 – €2,000

This is a worked example, not your number — every property is different depending on cadastral value, agent involvement, and Prima Casa vs. second-home status. The calculator you receive by email walks through your own figures.

"The listing price is where the dream begins. The total acquisition cost is where the planning begins."
