Our main aim is to provide impartial advice to ensure that our clients are well informed
on the particulars of the house they wish to buy and assist them throughout the Italian
buying process by removing any risks associated with the sale.

Our Standard Service
In Italy usually buyers and sellers both pay an agency commission when purchasing a property,
which ranges from 3 - 5% (plus Italian VAT of 20%). SIS Property and Tourism charges a commission
of 3% (plus VAT) of the full agreed purchase price upon the acceptance of the Offer to Buy
(Proposta d'Acquisto) with a minimum charge of € 2.000 plus VAT. In Italy, the legal obligation
of an Estate Agent ends once the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso) is completed.
At SIS we understand that this alone would create serious problems for our foreign clients.
As well as taking our client's through all the property purchase stages, we also assist
with the other important and necessary requirements such as opening of bank accounts and so on.
We therefore include within our standard fee the following services:
- First property search
Once we understand your needs we will access all properties that match your criteria.
By e-mail you will receive information, floor plans and pictures of the properties selected
that are on our portfolio at the present time.
- Additional search
If you are ready to visit the properties, please advise us as soon as you
can and we will do an additional search of properties before you leave.
- Viewings
Viewings can be conducted by appointment all the year round, 7 days a week.
We can also arrange your accommodation here in Salento in the southern part of Puglia,
and your business trip could become a relaxing break.
- Property discussion
We will discuss all the property you have selected and visited.
- Tax/Legal general advice
We have extensive knowledge on these matters. We will guide and explain to you the
Italian buying and taxation process.
- Negotiation on pricing and drawing the Offer to buy (Proposta d'Acquisto)
We will guide you on the best price to be offered and we will draw up the offer to buy both
in Italian and English.
- Codice Fiscale
In order to purchase property in Italy it is necessary to first have a Codice Fiscale
(similar to a National Insurance number in the UK). We will assist you in the application
process of your Codice Fiscale.
- Introductions to banks and financial services
In Italy it is a requirement that you have an Italian bank account before you can purchase property.
We can help by making the introduction to local banks, help you with the opening of your account and with
other financial services including money transfer.
- Final phase
Preparing all papers for the Final Deed and arranging the appointment with the Italian Notary Public.
This will also include arranging for interpreter services throughout the actual transfer of title,
as reassurance to you the client and also all other parties, that you fully understand the exact extent
of what is included in the property purchase.
Personal Tailored Service
Some clients like to have more of a one to one support and we can offer this for a simple registration fee
which will be returned to you by being deducted from our final fee when you purchase a property through
SIS Property and Tourism. This initial fee covers some of our time and costs and means that we can dedicate
more effort and time to assisting you while you are searching for a property.
This fee includes the following services:
- Discussion on clients' requirements
After our initial discussion we will provide a printed consultation to confirm that we are sending
you the right type of properties as they come on to the market..
- Extensive search
We will enlarge our search to various other estate agents, to source properties to fit your criteria.
For example: - Replat MLS, ICREA or FIAIP (all of whom are registered and follow our code of conduct).

the very first to view their details.
- Viewings
Throughout our network of estate agents (FIAIP, ICREA, MLS) we will arrange appointments for you
to view the properties you have selected. We can plan all your viewing trips to Puglia and book
accommodation for your stay.

We have extensive knowledge and information on all areas that we cover that will answer any queries,
questions or concerns you have.

We will negotiate the price of the property on your behalf.
- Advice on mortgages
