In this Australian Property Podcast episode Pete Wargent and Amy Lunardi deliver their step by step guide to buying property. Topics covered today: This episode covers the step by step process AFTER you've gone through the finance process, which we covered a few episodes ago with Owen & Chris, however some of these steps can be done before you get your finance sorted   Research – last week's episode covers this but is an essential step which a lot of people skim over, especially home buyers. Do recommend doing this before you get pre-approval, never too early, but regardless of when you do it the key things you're ideally wanting to understand are: What's happening in the market – broader and locally, why? Prices influence how quickly you have to move on offers, factoring into your appraisal & budget. Supply & scarcity     Research to create your PROPERTY BRIEF: your shopping list / workout plan -> ESSENTIAL STEP to moving forward   Educate yourself Learning about the fundamentals of property: settlement, conditional offers, building inspections, state specific rules Attending inspections & auctions, familiarising yourself with properties, meeting agents, starting to understand the lingo Spending more time exploring the neighbourhoods Potentially refining/changing your brief Search phase: once pre-approved and emotionally ready, actively searching Be proactive with online searches Off markets & agent communication Prioritising Saturdays and seeing properties asap Due diligence: once you've found a suitable property / green light Free and straight away: appraisal, local area check, council call, planning checks, landchecker, body corporate/owners corporation, old photos, agent info/notes, inclusions, speak to broker Contract review- when and why Building inspection & any other trade quotes – when and why Important to still keep searching throughout for backup plans. Sometimes 2 options need to strategise re timing Making an offer OR bidding at auction Making an offer: how? Ask agent their process and timeframes. Conditional versus unconditional, price versus terms.

Ever considered buying a property without stepping foot inside?

Once you've purchased property in Italy, there are a few key steps to take, including managing utilities and understanding tax obligations, like potential exemptions for first-time buyers. One-euro homes may come with hidden costs, such as renovation requirements and municipal obligations. The cadastral value, which determines taxes, differs from the market value and is an important factor to consider. A geometra is often needed to verify structural and regulatory compliance, especially during due diligence. If you plan to make changes to the property, you may also need planning permission, depending on the type and location of the work. In this episode of the Italian Real Estate Podcast hosted by Italian attorney, Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, you'll hear about the responsibilities and considerations that come with owning a home in Italy. For help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website: https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.com To contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team, you can use the contact form on the Italian Real Estate Lawyers website: https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/ Also to see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual citizen check out his YouTube channel and website: http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuria Http://RafaelDiFuria.com #italianproperty #movetoitaly #italianrealestate Topics & Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts 0:50 - What are the post-sale responsibilities for new Italian property owners? 3:07 - What unforeseen costs come with one-euro homes? 5:16 - The cadastral value of a property in Italy. 6:22 - What's a geometra and why is it needed? 7:20 - Will you need planning permission for property changes after purchase? 8:49 - Closing Thoughts & Outro
