How many times you will actually need to be here
Buying a home in Molassana while living and working abroad does not require endless weeks of travel or abandoning your routine. The calendar of your purchase is built around precision, not constant presence. You can complete most steps remotely, knowing exactly when your physical presence is required and when it is not. How many times do you actually need to be in Italy to complete the purchase? Usually, you only need to travel once for a targeted set of property viewings and finally for the closing acts, while every preliminary phase is managed digitally. You might wonder if you can sign without being there or who watches over the property if something goes wrong while you are abroad. With a clear method, dedicated local professionals inspect every detail on your behalf, ensuring total peace of mind across borders.
Tax code, bank account, and power of attorney: the tools for remote purchasing
Buying from abroad relies on standard legal instruments that make distance irrelevant. First, you need an Italian tax code, which is simply a personal identifier required for administrative acts and does not imply tax residency in Italy. Opening a local bank account simplifies future payments for utilities and property management. For the final signature, you do not necessarily have to fly back: you can appoint a trusted person through a power of attorney, properly formalized and legalized according to international regulations when executed abroad. Home Gallery coordinates this entire sequence with local notaries, technicians, and legal advisors. Every document, structural check, and administrative requirement is handled on the ground so that you never have to navigate Italian bureaucracy on your own from thousands of miles away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an Italian tax code to buy property in Molassana?
Yes, an Italian tax code is mandatory for anyone purchasing real estate in Italy, regardless of residency status. It is purely a numerical identifier used for property registration and tax purposes, and obtaining it does not make you a tax resident. Home Gallery can assist you in requesting and securing this code remotely through the relevant authorities before any purchase documents are signed.
Can I sign the final deed of sale using a power of attorney?
Yes, you can sign the final purchase contract through a power of attorney if you cannot travel to Italy for the closing date. This legal instrument allows a trusted representative to sign on your behalf. When executed abroad, the power of attorney must follow specific international legalization or apostille procedures to be recognized in Italy, and our team coordinates these steps with the notary.
How many site visits are truly necessary before making an offer in Molassana?
Most international buyers complete their purchase with a single well-organized trip to Italy. Before traveling, Home Gallery provides detailed remote video viewings and preliminary documentation so you can filter options in advance. When you arrive, your itinerary is condensed into a focused sequence of visits, allowing you to inspect the properties, meet the local team, and make an informed decision during a single short stay.
