Property buyer representation
Buying property in Italy

Stella Polare is not a real estate agency. We do not sell, advertise or represent properties, and we do not act on behalf of sellers.

We provide administrative and organisational services exclusively for property buyers and represent their interests throughout the purchase process, from defining the client’s requirements and identifying suitable properties to viewings, negotiations, coordination of professional checks and notarial completion.

After the purchase, where required, we can also coordinate the connection or transfer of electricity, gas and water services, as well as renovation works.

Buying property in Italy requires more than finding the right home

For an international buyer, identifying a suitable house or apartment is only the first step.

A property purchase in Italy may involve an estate agent, the owner, a notary, a surveyor, a lawyer, a translator, a bank and a tax adviser. Each party is responsible for a specific part of the transaction, but no one automatically oversees the entire process from the buyer’s perspective.

Before any binding document is signed, the buyer should understand the property’s legal and technical status, the total cost of the purchase, the terms of the offer, deposits, deadlines and any matters that remain unresolved.

Stella Polare coordinates the process on the buyer’s side, brings the relevant professionals together and keeps the client informed, so that each decision is made with a clear understanding of the property, the required checks, the expected costs and the next steps.
Working exclusively for the buyer
The service may cover the entire purchase process or begin at a later stage, depending on when the client contacts us.

Stella Polare works exclusively on the buyer’s side. We organise and coordinate the purchase process, communicate with agents, owners and the professionals involved, clarify the terms and practical aspects of the transaction, and keep the client informed at every stage.

Legal, notarial, tax and technical services requiring professional authorisation are provided separately by the relevant licensed Italian professionals. We coordinate their involvement where required.

How payment works

  1. €1,000 — start of work. Payable after the agreement is signed. We define the purchase criteria, budget and priorities, establish the search strategy and begin working with the market.
  2. €1,500 — work with selected properties. Payable once suitable options have been identified and the client decides to proceed with selected properties. We communicate with agents and owners, obtain further information and documents, arrange viewings and discuss the proposed terms.
  3. €1,400 — a property is selected for purchase. Payable once the client has selected a specific property and intends to proceed towards the purchase. We coordinate the necessary professional checks, communication with the relevant specialists, negotiations and preparation for the purchase offer.
  4. €1,000 — preparation for notarial completion. The final payment, due before the closing stage. We coordinate communication with the notary and other parties involved, preparation of the required documents and the organisational steps leading to completion.

Each subsequent payment becomes due only when the work moves to the next stage.
