Does it actually pay
€149
Everything above, plus the two numbers that decide an investment: what is left after tax, and what leaving costs you.
You are buying to rent it out and the numbers have to work, not just feel right.
What is in it
You let it at €800 a month. How much is left after tax?
Gross yield is the easy number and it flatters. This is the net: rental tax at your actual rate, property tax, charges and maintenance taken out — and how many years of rent it takes to earn back what buying it cost you.
And if you want out in 3 years, what does it cost you?
Sell within five years and 26% of your gain goes in tax — and renting it out means you can never claim the exemption that protects people who live there. Nobody mentions this when you buy.
Do the building’s rules even let you rent it by the week?
The building’s own rules can forbid short lets outright, and so can the municipality. Checked before you commit, not after.
What €149 is, next to your other numbers
We would rather show you the arithmetic than tell you it is good value.
- 0.06%of the price you are about to pay (€250,000)
- 29.8%of the cheapest surveyor’s check, on its own (€500)
- 1.19%of losing your deposit, at the smallest figure it can be (€12,500)
Worked out on a €250,000 purchase, because you have not run your own figures yet. Every comparison uses the number that flatters us least: the cheapest surveyor, the smallest deposit you could lose.
How it works
- In your language, with the Italian beside it: the clauses, the messages and the phrases to use with the notary and the surveyor are written in Italian, ready to hand over.
- Every figure carries the source it comes from and the date it was checked, so it can be verified line by line.
- It is built to be put in front of a surveyor or a notary: it tells you what to ask them, and what a good answer sounds like.

Buying goes through the cart: take one package or several, you pay once for all of them.
