Therefore, there is no need for clients to be physically present in Italy throughout the purchasing process. When we carry out due diligence, we analyze the condition of the property subject to a potential transaction before conveyancing is formalized in a contract and made enforceable. Our aim by conducting due diligence is to ensure that we cover any potential risks related to the transaction in order to effectively manage them through an appropriate drafting of the contract and the connected safeguard clause or liability restrictions. As for payments, we provide assistance with all transactions and finally, we mail the client the keys to the property.
