What to ask before buying a house on Lago Maggiore

Here are all the tips to buy Lago Maggiore houses safely

Purchasing a property is an important matter and, as such, it is essential that you think about it carefully, in order not to turn a beautiful dream into a horrible regret. So, the question that has probably come to your mind reading these few lines could be: “What should I ask before buying a house?”. Here you will find some useful tips, which will help you make the right choice. 


CHECK ALL DOCUMENTS
If buying a Lago Maggiore villa with pool is something you can’t resist, then, before you dive headlong into the project, make sure all documents are in order. You should also check who the effective owner is (it often happens that there is more than one) and obviously make sure that there are no mortgages still hanging on the property, as well as court cases. 

The documents regarding the city planning are among the most important ones. The cadastral plan must comply with the actual situation otherwise, the owner must fix it before the notary deed. And it is also important to check whether it includes building permissions or not. 


Sifting through the documents you will also see what is the effective floor area (remember that the total surface is always bigger than the living surface) and check the energy efficiency class, which must be provided by the owner.

ADDITIONAL USEFUL INFORMATION
If you plan to buy a specific villa Lago Maggiore, you had better ask the reason why the owner is selling the property and for how long it has been for sale. And after you have checked everything, you should also do the same for the area, in order to see which attractions and amenities it offers, as well as the real estate value. 

In the process of collecting important information, asking about the potential extra maintenance fees would be good. In case there are some, if they have been decided before the notary deed, then they will be paid by the owner, if not, they will concern the buyer. This obviously applies to the apartment blocks.
