Today I will explain why you need to carry out the “access to documents” right from the start if your intention is to sell your home. This is a very important aspect!
If you want to sell your house, one of the first things to do is to check the conformity not only cadastral but especially urbanistic of your property, that is, to check the correspondence of the documentation of your house filed with the municipality to which it belongs (for Albarella Island we are talking about the municipality of Rosolina) with the state of affairs.
Three reasons why you need the “access to documents”:
- the deed of sale of a property with an abuse is null and void;
- with a prior check you avoid running into unpleasant surprises with your future buyer, in particular you do not run the risk of entering into a preliminary agreement where you promise for sale a house with defects;
- you avoid making false statements (albeit in good faith) at the time of stipulation, since without prior verification, your property may be nonconforming.
The Seller is obliged to verify at his own care and expense that what is authorized by the municipality conforms to the state of the premises, so he must check building permit/planning permission, amnesties, etc...
Over the years, we have unfortunately encountered several times cases where the owner who wanted to sell his house was not aware that his property was not in compliance from the urban planning point of view. This is why despite the fact that the “access to documents” is something that is not required by law (unfortunately), we still see it as essential!
