Frequently asked questions about real estate law
When is it advisable to consult a real estate lawyer before buying a house?
Before signing the purchase offer: once accepted by the seller, the offer is already binding. The real estate lawyer verifies the property's provenance and ownership, the existence of mortgages or other encumbrances, urban planning and cadastral compliance, and clauses regarding the deposit, timelines, and conditions, such as those related to mortgage approval.
What is the difference between a purchase offer, a preliminary contract, and a final deed?
The offer is the buyer's proposal, which becomes binding when the seller accepts it. With the preliminary contract (the so-called "compromesso"), the parties undertake to sign the final deed; it can be registered in the real estate registers to protect the buyer. The final deed (rogito) is the notarial act by which the property is effectively transferred to the buyer.
Is mediation mandatory for property disputes?
In many cases, yes. For disputes concerning condominiums, property rights, division, leases, and loans for use, the law requires a mediation attempt before legal action, with the assistance of a lawyer. The firm assists clients both in mediation and, if an agreement cannot be reached, in court proceedings.
How long does an eviction for non-payment take?
There is no fixed duration. Eviction for non-payment begins with a validation procedure before the court; in residential leases, the judge may grant the tenant a period to settle the debt. The timeline then depends on the court's caseload and the execution phase of the eviction.
Does the firm also assist those who want to buy property at auction?
Yes. The firm assists individuals and investors in judicial real estate auctions in Florence, from the analysis of the appraisal report to the submission of the offer, up to the property handover.
