Checklist "Discussion of the Price and Terms of Purchase"
Welcome! This checklist will help you systematically assess all important aspects when discussing the price and terms of purchase of a land plot in Italy. It includes key questions that will help you make an informed decision about the deal and avoid possible risks.
Preparation for Negotiations
Market Research
Market prices. Carry out a study of prices for similar land plots in the chosen area of Italy. Pay attention to the location, size of the plot and the availability of infrastructure.
Trends in the real estate market. Find out which trends exist in the land market in this region (price growth or decline).
Seasonal fluctuations. In some areas of Italy prices may vary depending on the season, so it is worth taking this feature into account.
Promotions and discounts. Research possible discounts, promotions or special offers that may affect the final cost of the plot.
Assessment of the Plot
Independent valuation. Invite an independent appraiser to determine the real value of the plot. This will help you avoid overpaying and confirm the fairness of the proposed price.
Hidden costs. Assess possible additional expenses such as taxes, utilities, earthworks or improvement of infrastructure (for example excavation or levelling of the plot).
Comparison with the proposed price. Compare the market value of the plot with the proposed price. If the difference is large, this is a reason for negotiations to reduce the price.
Legal purity. Check for debts or legal problems related to the plot (for example issues concerning boundaries or ownership rights).
Additional Factors
Infrastructure. Take into account the proximity of the plot to transport arteries, schools, hospitals, shops and other important infrastructure facilities.
Environment. Analyse the state of the environment — for example, access to water resources or natural areas.
