Our Fees
Looking for property in Italy is one of the most difficult things you are likely to experience. In most parts of the world there are nice displays on Estate agents offices, with pictures and details of the property incl asking price, and on every corner signs with FOR SALE on it. In Sicily this is very rare and usually no signs are on display even on
estate agency windows; only a few VENDESI, usually so old you cannot even read the telephone number on it.
Once you track down the estate agent selling the property, the mystery begins especially in regards to the asking price. The property price is never on display.
Negotiation is part of the Sicilian culture, when selling something, vegetables or properties. It is a way to know somebody else; it is also a very time consuming experience.
Sicilian Homes is here to make maximum use of your time whilst saving you money in negotiating on your behalf.
Off course we do charge for our service.We charge a one off fee of £1,500 for properties priced up to £55,000 . This fee is due wholly at the time of the Compromesso or Preliminary Contract, and will not be refundable.
For properties priced £55,000 and above our fee is between 1.5% and 3% of the purchase price
(see our scale of fees).
No fee is payable during the negotiations unless otherwise specified. 40% of our fee is requested at the time of the signing of the Compromesso or Preliminary Contract, and will not be refundable (see Terms&Conditions). The remainder 60% is payable on the signing of the rogito or final contract (completion) and should be paid in the sterling equivalent to the amount of the purchase price.
Currency conversion will be calculated on the day of signing the rogito.
