What does the condition of reciprocity mean?<\/span><\/h4>\n

To ensure one foreigner purchases a house in Italy, it must be fulfilled the condition of reciprocity.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What does it mean? In simple words and making a practical example, if an Italian can buy a home in Canada, a Canadian can buy in Italy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It seems like a simple rule, but it is not so easy. In theory it would be enough to check the condition of reciprocity, by reading the document at the following link Elenco Paesi e Territori \u2013 Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00a0refers directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs page, but it is not probative and therefore requires further verification at embassies or directly controlling the laws of the country concerned.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Still it seems pretty simple, but I assure you that if in Italy we have a more complex system, but with a fairly simple consultation, other countries may not be so.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Take for example a case that I dealt with last year. A client of mine from Singapore wanted to buy an apartment with a small garden, in Orta.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have asked that, in this procedure, work alongside the Notary Gatti, with offices in Omegna, which to me has managed many trades to foreigners.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Together we talked to the Foreign Ministry, with the Italian Embassy in Singapore, with the Singapore Consulate in Italy, with the Board of Notaries and, as a last chance, with an expert notary in non-European laws. But still we have not received convincing answers. An ancient law of Singapore, in fact, involves the non-reciprocity of land purchases (in Italian we use the term “latifundia” which is a word antiquated). In our case it was a garden of less than 100 square meters, not a vast plot, but none of the requested authorities confirmed to us the saleability of the land.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, unfortunately, my client has been unable to purchase the garden.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is just one case, to explain how difficult it is sometimes to know the effective application of the principle of reciprocity of real estate purchases.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reciprocity regards the legal capacity of the subject that result in the nullity of the legal transaction put in place by the incapacitated subject. In other words, <\/span><\/span>the deed of sale which transfers a property to a foreign person that does not apply the principle of reciprocity is null!<\/span><\/span> And in Italy this is a very serious thing!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the case of Swiss customers I decided to write a separate post that you can find at the following link Swiss<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the following link you can reach the pdf with the list of countries where it is permitted or not reciprocity, remember that it is a revision of the guidelines given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but, unfortunately, no probative Reciprocit\u00e0 tabella<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For any information about the process of buying a house in Italy, write to info@ortalloggi.com, I will be happy to answer your questions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
