Buying property in Puglia: process, costs and who does what
A home in Puglia is not bought in a single appointment. Between the first brief and the handover come selection, documents, technical checks, binding commitments and the final notarial deed. This guide explains what decision comes when – and who is responsible for it. Define use, area, budget and a separate reserve before viewing specific homes. A licensed real-estate partner handles property search, seller contact, viewings and negotiation. An accepted proposta may already be binding, so technical and legal conditions belong before the signature.
Inside the full article
