Structural Investigations

---

It is essential that the documents show the following information which states the exact location of the property: comune, sezione, foglio, particella, subalterno. With this information the geometra checks the catasto (Land Registry) at the local Land Registry office known as Ufficio del Territorio and carries out a visura catastale.    

 

The geometra first verifies the details registered at the Land Registry concerning the: 

Categoria catastale: authorising the property as a dwelling.

Rendita catastale: declared land value

Scheda catastale (planimetria): plans of the building

 

With this search he checks that:

• the property matches the Land registry definition
• the property is built with planning permission and complies with all local planning, building and land registry regulations
• extensions are approved and the relevant taxes have been paid
• the owners selling the property are the legal owners at the land registry

He also carries out: 

• a partial survey/valuation (valutazione) or
• a full structural survey (perizia strutturale); a full assessment of the structural condition of the property

A geometra will also check if approval will be granted for any alterations you want to make to the property.

 

At the end of his investigations the geometra prepares a signed report on his findings. If you don't speak Italian seek professional help and ask for a translation.
