2) You will be asked for a copy of valid identification, your fiscal code and a signature of consent regarding the treatment of personal data (Privacy Law D.Lgs 196/2003).

3) At the same time with the assignments appointed to the consultant, you will have in your power, underwritten by the agency a proposal of acquisition. The proposal of acquisition is a pre-printed form and its use is appointed solely to estate agents and is registered by the Chamber of Commerce. The Proposal of Acquisition, once accepted by the seller permits the buyer to:
- Reserve the house ‘under offer’ for a period of 20/30 days. (This is the vital period when the buyer can carry out any necessary checks).
- Make a clear statement to the seller of his/her firm intention to buy
- Fix a written price
- Establish a time scale for the conclusion of business

Achieve a good result from the negotiation of the checks that determine the conditions of the property, in particular of the property being in a saleable state and in regulation with the urban and land registry laws or for the attainment of a mortgage.

A serious proof of intention, the proposal of acquisition obligates the buyer to pays across a small sum as a deposit to the agency that will be refunded to the buyer in the event of the sale not concluding.

4) At the end of all necessary checks on the property, with the outcome of these being satisfactory to the buyer, you will be guided to the conclusion of business with your technical consultant in collaboration with the agency and the technical consultant assigned to the seller with the drafting of the ‘preliminare di compravendita’ or the ‘compromesso’ With the signature of the compromesso the agency reserves the right to commission.
With the new law, from 01.01.2007, by the l’Agenzia delle Entrate the estate agent must register the compromesso at their office and therefore you will be requested by the private drafting of this document to make the necessary tax registration (if needed) and the necessary tax stamps.
The compromesso obligates the buyer to make the payment of a confirmed deposit (the maximum being 30% of the price).


THE FINAL DEED OF SALE

Before the termination of the established time scale, the estate agent together with the entrusted technical consultant will negotiate at the pre-chosen Notaio’s office. They will prepare the completion of the final deed of sale and deliver all necessary documentation to the Notaio who will draft the document. On the agreed day of the final deed of sale it is important to provide the Notaio with a valid document of identification and your fiscal code. From 2006, buyers and sellers are legally bound at this meeting to declare an assigned mediator together with the details of the relative payment of commission, they will be inserted into the notarial contract (in the case of false declaration there are penal sanctions).
