Asbestos in the appraisal report: what you are really obliged to do
No rule orders you to remove asbestos-cement that is already there. But there is one case in which someone can order you to, and the costs are yours: it is worth knowing which one before you bid.
Rischi
In need of renovation: how to estimate the works before bidding
The appraisal report describes the condition; it does not quote for the works. And between “needs freshening up” and “needs redoing” there are tens of thousands of euros that decide whether the deal exists.
Rischi
Easements and restrictions: what the decree does not cancel
One analysed lot in three has restrictions or easements flagged in the appraisal report. They are not anyone’s debts, they are features of the asset: the transfer does not touch them.
Rischi
Missing EPC and certificate of habitability: what it means for the buyer
A missing EPC can be redone in a week. A missing certificate of habitability is another matter, and it may mean the property has never been declared fit for use.
Rischi
Planning compliance and unauthorised works: the risk you cannot see
The transfer decree cancels mortgages and attachments, not unauthorised building work. That comes with the property, and the buyer sorts it out.
Rischi
Viewing the property: what to check, in order
The viewing is the only chance to compare the appraisal report with reality. It is almost always a one-off, it is short, and you cannot go back: it pays to arrive with a list.
