Can I buy an Italian home while living abroad?
Have your notary confirm your eligibility and required documents before committing. AURA starts with your purpose: holidays, relocation, investment or mixed use. Share your country of residence, target area, timing and total budget. The asking price is only one expense; allow for taxes, professionals, any agency fee, renovation, furnishing and a contingency reserve.
How can I search and buy remotely?
AURA can compare opportunities, coordinate viewings and video visits, and gather information from local agencies and professionals. Images support shortlisting; technical checks require dedicated inspections. If you cannot attend signing, agree any power of attorney and applicable formalities with the notary in advance. Define the representative, permitted acts and limits clearly.
What should I check when buying a villa?
Review access, boundaries, maintenance, systems, the pool, ancillary buildings and annual running costs. Ask independent technical professionals to assess planning and cadastral matters. For renovation projects, compare specifications and quotations before committing capital. An attractive location alone does not establish the feasibility of works or rental use.
Can I buy and then rent the property?
Assess the individual property with qualified advisers, including local rules, taxation and tourism requirements such as the CIN where applicable. AURA can examine demand, seasonality, furnishing and operations. Compare short stays, medium-term rentals and personal use: income depends on availability, property characteristics and the market.
How does AURA assess investment ROI?
Calculate returns against the total invested capital using clearly stated costs. Purely illustrative example: €180,000 total investment and €12,000 annual income after operating costs give 6.67% before income taxes and financing costs. If that income falls to €9,000, the return becomes 5%. This is neither a forecast nor a guaranteed return.
A useful assessment separates revenue, vacancy, platform and management fees, owner-paid cleaning, maintenance, insurance and other expenses. AURA can compare conservative, central and favourable scenarios with explicit sources and assumptions. A gross yield cannot replace the net result for your circumstances.
