BUYING A PROPERTY IN ITALY: Italian Lawyer's Advice on Real Estate & Home Renovations
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Many of you have the dream of living in Italy, in your own rustic farmhouse, similar to the story in Under the Tuscan Sun. This episode I interview Michele Capecchi, an Italian lawyer in Florence, Tuscany, to give you the ultimate guide to buying a property in Italy. Whether you'd like to buy a holiday home in Tuscany, an investment that you could run as an agriturismo or Airbnb accommodation, or perhaps you're keen to try the adventure of restoring a historic villa in the countryside to eventually retire with your family. Michele talks through the dangers and key questions to ask so that this process can be smooth and relatively stress-free. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

Thank you for watching. For those who are keen to dream but not necessarily in the market to buy, I included over 160 cutaways throughout the interview to give you some visual escapism.

The cinematography of the divine cutaways is magnifico! Mi piace questo video moltissimo! Sogno di comprare una casa italiana. Grazie Mille
Thank you Kylie !
Im already in touch with Michele 😃
Very helpful. Thanks 😊
Always so thoughtful and kind. Grazie!
you prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
Italian's have so much style. This lawyer's suit is perfectly tailored. The men and women of Italy along with the French really have a great sense of aesthetics.
Yea, but he only owns one suit and wears it everyday…….😊
@@wayneguy6043 😆😃😀😄🤪
Bla-bla !!!
@@wayneguy6043Better that then the number of stupid t-shirts owned by Americans.
@@John-qb8vd or the $40 k poverty salary the Europeeon’s make
I love the fact that most of Italy has rules and regulations that seek to preserve the history and keep the cultural aspects intact.
Can be too much and off putting. But they don't care if the properties collapse from neglect.
@@viorose5250 That happens everywhere if money is not
available, as you should know(?)
While preventing people to live simply on a plot of land.
I think most places (in Europe at least) have laws around this sort of thing, to various extents.
Michele gives good advice on buying real estate in Italy. We bought a property in Tuscany (Pontremoli) in 2017 and used Nicholas Metta in Philadelphia as our attorney. While Nick lives in the US (outside of Philadelphia), he is Italian, licensed in Italy and part of a Italian firm. He was able to inspect all of the transaction documents and provide us with both good answers to our questions and assurance that everything was correct. I would easily recommend Nick for American buyers looking for a US-based attorney.
May i know the price
Thanks!!
Hello, how are you doing? I would like to put my house up for sale, can you link me and a trusted Realtor?
In Italy
Hi Michele! He is my lawyer helping me and my family with our journey to claim our Italian citizenship.
Anyone else jealous at that marvellous Italian cut suit Michele is wearing? 😍
It’s magnificent!! Lui e’ magnifico 🇮🇹
@@KaterinaFerrara thanks!
I was thinking the same. perfectly cut! 👌
I believe jealousy and envy have very different distinct meanings.
That film Under the Tuscan Sun made me fall in love with Tuscany even more! 😍😍❤️
That wasn't Tuscany.. it was filmed in Umbria.
Thank you for this perfectly timed and informative story. My wife and I are returned to Italy (from the US) in September, with the intent to buy a holiday home for our retirement. Your interview confirmed much of the information that we've been capturing as part of our research, thus increasing our confidence that this is dream that can be made real. Grazie mille...
How's it going Rob? Did you ever get to make that trip?
I love Michele Capecchi's English a lot. He speaks very well. His style is also excellent. I enjoyed watching this video a lot and learnt so much. Thank you Kylie. I love spending Friday evenings with You.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!!
He is very Hanson his suit! ❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹. Thank you sir!
@@KaterinaFerrara There are only 16 un-handsome men in all of Italy, and I have yet to see them!
Thank you Adrienne!
@@KaterinaFerrara really appreciated ;-)
You've taken the typical "youtuber" video and turned it on it's head. Your videos are more like productions. The video quality, content flow and overall experience is like watching a mini-series from a broadcast company! Your energy is wonderful and infectious and I wish you success beyond your wildest dreams! The wonderful thing is... I think you're already living your dreams and you're wonderful for sharing them with us! Mille grazie, Kylie!!
So so so kind!!! Thank you!!!
Except the white titles on lemon background which I struggle to read.
It is amazing that you make even italian boring burocracy interesting!! This made me reminisce the things I went through when i bought my house in Sicily😅
😊😊😊
Do you live there full time now?
Is it that difficult to buy one in Sicily ? . Am looking into buying one .
I have been planning to move to Italy for the past 3 years. At first, to get away from toxic troubles and heartaches, but as time passed and my soul healed, I have grown to fall in love more and more. I am looking forward to my new home.
Thank you for what you do love......but i have to confess, that I mostly watch your videos for the exquisite cinema quality. You are going to make it very far.
How did you go Regina? Did you buy in Italy?
You are beautiful Kylie! You’re energy is infectious, since finding your channel you have given me so much hope, joy and also faith in humanity. Thank you so much
Thank you Carla - this is so sweet!
I agree, I love Kylie's beauty and bright spirit!
I agree. She's precious. I am glad we stole her.
The movie Under The Tuscan Sun is what prompted me to travel to Italy....I fell in love immediately! 💕
He gives such a clear explanation, it seems pretty straightforward. Thanks for having him on your channel!
The Cypress lined roads upto the house are just amazing ❤️
this is so so so amazing. you don't only inspire us to dream big and to think that everything is possible, but you always bring the reality in in such a beautiful way so that we can plan and account for both dreamy and difficult parts of achieving the dream, which is so damn important. as an expat who started just like you, from zero, all alone and confused, I have to say that the difficulties that "no one told you about" can be so disheartening and defeating. being prepared for both good and bad is such a luxury that you're selflessly providing to us and I'm so so grateful for you Kylie
It’s so kind of you to write all this. I really truly appreciate it! Thank you Larissa. The expat experience is indeed about equal doses of inspiration and practical preparation. 😊🇮🇹
Very well said!!
What a gift that I get to start yet another morning with Kylie 💌❤️Thank you for the countless hours you dedicate to making each episode a special experience. You are helping people in more ways than you can imagine.
Awww... what a lovely person you are! Thank you Jessica!
Hello Kylie During lockdown I found CZcams and I have just found you. I started out with The Chateau Diaries in France but as soon as I found you in Tuscany I’m hooked. I have been to Italy a couple of times and love it. I love your channel you are beautiful inside as well as out as well as being talented and determined to succeed you are truly an inspiration for the young as well as like me old. 🙁However I am trying out your recipes and struggling with the language and will continue watching. Thank you so much for bringing the Tuscan sunshine into my life.🤗
So happy to read this!! The Chateau Diaries is a great channel! Thank you for watching!
These steps are needed only for properties with historic or landscape restrictions, as it's clearly said in this nice video.
In any case an ordinary house can be bought with less efforts and money in places that are just few steps away from this wonderful places, so that it can be enjoyed anyway.
The lawyer gave great advice and was transparent. Thank you for posting this video.
As a college student, I am sooo far away from buying a property in Italy (lol), but this videos was still very interesting! Also, love all the shots of the old Italian houses inbetween! ❤️
Thank you Nadine! ♥️♥️
Do you recommend Italy for socially awkward people?
Believe in god and u will buy
My Friday mornings are different from the rest of my week. Fridays, I grab my coffee, fire up my laptop, prop it on my lap with my feet up, and check out what Kylie has uploaded for my viewing pleasure. I am never disappointed. In addition to your episodes being a feast for the eyes, they also offer us information that we may not have possessed before we clicked on that Play icon. While I will live in Italy for months at a time beginning next fall, I know that I will never own a property there but that diminishes neither my daydreams nor my enjoyment of this video. Thank you and many thanks to Michele for his time and expertise. Now I can go about my day, happy that I have had my Friday Tuscan 'fix' courtesy of Kylie Flavell!
Oh Kathleen. You’re such a sweetheart to write all this. Thank you with all my heart. ♥️
Anch’io! Me too!!

Great video -- thanks for this :]
This is so interesting and informative! Bravo!
Very informative and pleasant discussion. Congratulations !
Super valuable information, well done 👏
This was awesome!
Great informative video. Thanks!
FYI: It is almost impossible not to get ripped off buying property in Italy. Before, during and/or after. But, as long as you know that, you can decide to buy or not.
Can you tell me more about the first statement?
@@adamdeluca7681 I had an Italian laywer and Italian geometra and still found out out when I sold it, that two rooms were not consodered or zoned as habitable, and had to be declared this way to buyers. Also meaning i had to list about 20 sqm less than I bought it for.
Thank you; great to have a sit down real conversation with this man.
Very informative and much appreciated : ) Grazie.
Thank you, best video I've seen yet.
It's hard just to afford groceries these days, but thanks CZcams for thinking so highly of me for the recommendation!
I’ve been there! 😘😘😘
Absolutely amazing interview, so much great and positive information.
Well done, love it! 🙏
Very informative, thank you for this interview. The sitting is very relaxed, has a very nice feel to it.
Very informative video! Great job!!! 👍🏻
Thank you for your effort and Michele ,very informative.🤗
Thank you for asking the right questions and looking after us!
I love that you offer an amazing visual experience and now practical knowledge for us.
Great content it was just what I need it.
Excellent video Kylie. Love your video of the area. Visited the area it was a wonderful reminder of my time in Tuscany. Yes, I think seeing the movie nudge me to want to visit also. So glad I came across your channel. Keep up the great work!
Some excellent information given, things don’t seem to be that daunting now. Thank you
That was so beneficial! Thank you!!!! I hope I get to share with you my new dream property in Italy!
So interesting and helpful Kylie! Love this content
Thank you. Great information
Excellent information!
Good morning Kylie!!! Thank you so much. Great interview ...❤
Kylie what a wonderful and enlightening video.
thanks for the info
Super episode, Kylie...thank you so much for having Michele on to explain things. Very informative. Have a nice weekend!
Great information, really appreciate all your time and effort helping us understand the complicated rules and laws of buying property in Italy. Grazie
Extremely useful...
I love it. Your channel is to help and inspire people. What a beautiful soul you are ❤
Your videos always have a unique style! Love it! 😊😊😊
Beautiful footage during the very informative interview! ❤🇮🇹
Fabulous & very helpful - Grazie
Very informative. Thanks 😊
Thank you for a gold mine of information, you’re a gem.
NEVER give up on your dreams !!! They can and do come true and I have proof of that. But of course action on your part is what is needed. Sitting on one's butt🤣 doesn't usually bring results. This episode may sound a bit complicated ,but in actual fact isn't,at least not the part in buying a house( more so when restoring older properties, waiting for permissions)as the notary is a professional who checks everything out for you about that property. Anyone interested in buying in Italy I have a property for sale bordering Tuscany. Another fabulous video from Kylie. Bravissima !!!❣️
Very interesting, loved this video and the guy has explained everything so well.x 😊
I enjoy your video well laid out...
Excelent!!! Kylie this is a great info LOL!!! Take care!
Very sound advice!!! Thank you so much to Michele Capecchi and to you Kylie for sharing and the beautiful footage of Florence and your surrounds in the countryside home :-)
I love Michele's advice-- to "follow your heart." And I appreciate so much that you offer us (your tribe) practical and valuable knowledge from an expert to realize our Italian dreams. Felice primavera (presto) Kylie!
Unusual advice for a lawyer to give🤷♂ Yes, follow your heart, but make sure you have a good lawyer reading all the fine print of the contract, and an accountant doing all the figures concerning Italian taxation. That's not really following your heart
We love your channel and have watched many of your videos.thank you we are now restoring a farmhouse in Abruzzo.
I have just chosen my Firenze-based lawyer. A joy to watch these two... thanks for publishing this.
kylie you're doing such a good job! i'm so happy i found your channel. you don't even realize how much you've helped me! sending you all my love
Nice & Helpful..
Beautifully filmed
Thank you for sharing your expertise, Mr. Capecchi, and for bringing him to us, Kylie. 🌸
best interview..very informative
Grazie 👏Michele’s chat & website are extremely useful for people entering the huge complex world of Italian property buying. Beautiful setting for a conversation. ☀️🌼x
Kylie, I love your life philosophy and positive proactive attitude toward life. Your relationship with your man is inspirational! Love the views of Italy and renovations. Keep up the great work!
Wow, this video is filled with so much information and beautiful cinematic images. Thank you for always starting my weekend off right❤️
Such a pleasure to create for people like you Sam!
After watching this video, I think a dream starts to take shape in my heart! Thank you Kylie and Michele!!!
Wow! Very informational. Holy cow!
Loved this episode. My wife and I have a rental in Fiesole and this was immensely helpful...
Great Info - Grazie , in the process of Purchasing a property in Molise Region
Great channel , presentation and content. I love the cinematic look and feel too.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Very good video
Listening to this lawyer explains why Italy preserved the beauty of their country and surroundings that everybody loves.
Caffe Notte! That's my street!
Thanks for the informative video. Even more motivated to work hard now!
