Why they want your price down
€19
The fee on your mandate does not shrink when your price does. Everything that happens afterwards follows from that one line, and here is the whole sequence, with what to say at each step.
Your property is listed, and the meetings have started to be about the price rather than the buyers.
What is in it
You cut the price by €40,000. How much did the agency’s fee drop?
Written as an amount and not a percentage, it costs the agency nothing when you come down forty thousand. It is the reason the rest of this exists.
The monthly report they send you: who actually wrote it?
The visitor feedback attributed to a neutral coordinator who rings them afterwards. Two of these, side by side, are the same sentences with the numbers changed.
Sign a lower price, and turning an offer down costs you more. How much more?
Refusing an offer that conforms to your mandate carries a charge. Lower the mandate price and you have also widened what you can be charged for refusing.
Did you have 14 days to walk away? One line on the mandate decides it.
Where the mandate says you signed it is not a formality. It is the difference between having a way out and never having had one.
What €19 is, next to your other numbers
We would rather show you the arithmetic than tell you it is good value.
- < 0.01%of the price you are about to pay (€250,000)
- 3.8%of the cheapest surveyor’s check, on its own (€500)
- 0.15%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.
