Institutional protection

Buying in Italy: The world's highest level of security

Every transaction on Local Ita is supervised by certified professionals. The Italian notarial system is among the most protective in the world for buyers, eliminating every risk and guaranteeing total legal and financial transparency.

SECURED ESCROW ACCOUNT

Your funds are protected by Law 124/2017. The deposit and balance are paid into a restricted, protected notary account and released to the seller only after the deed is registered in the State land registry.

COMPREHENSIVE PRE-CHECKS

The Notary verifies the property's twenty-year history before closing, confirming the absence of mortgages, liens, condominium debts or building violations.

ZERO HIDDEN RISKS

Unlike systems based on simple private contracts between lawyers, in Italy the Notary acts as a judicial officer guaranteeing legality.
