Tool 07 For sellers
The documents to sell, in the order you need them.
Thirteen items, from the cadastral record to the deed. For each: what it is, where to get it, the source. Where we found no official source to re-read, we say so next to it, in red.

01
Before putting it on the market
What the buyer, their notary and their bank ask for first. The energy certificate is already needed for the listing.
Cadastral record · visura catastale
Owners, category, class, size and cadastral income of each unit. It is the first document the notary checks.
Where · Revenue Agency, «Consultazione personale» service: free for your own properties, with SPID, CIE or CNS. Or at a land registry office.
agenziaentrate.gov.it · source read on 6 October 2026
Cadastral floor plan · planimetria catastale
The drawing of the unit filed with the land registry. It must match the home as it is today.
Where · The same «Consultazione personale» service, reserved for owners and their delegates.
agenziaentrate.gov.it · source read on 6 October 2026
Cadastral compliance · conformità catastale
In the deed the seller declares that cadastral data and floor plan match the actual state; the declaration can be replaced by a technician's certificate. If they do not match, the registry is updated before the deed.
Where · A surveyor, architect or engineer compares plan and home and, if needed, files the update.

Planning compliance and building permits · conformità urbanistica
Licences, permits, amnesties: their references must be cited in the deed for buildings begun after 17 March 1985, or the deed is void (art. 46 D.P.R. 380/2001). A technician checks that the home matches what was authorised.
Where · The municipality's building office (edilizia privata), with a request for access to records.
normattiva.it · not verified on an official source
Habitability · agibilità
Today it is a certified notice attesting the building's safety, hygiene and compliance (art. 24 D.P.R. 380/2001). Older homes may lack it: the buyer must be told.
Where · The municipality's building office; for a new notice, a qualified technician.
normattiva.it · not verified on an official source
Energy performance certificate · APE
Needed for the listing and attached to the deed: without it the fine ranges from €3,000 to €18,000, jointly on both parties. Valid for up to 10 years.
Where · A qualified assessor draws it up and files it with the Piedmont Region's SIPEE system, where it can be looked up.

02
Before the preliminary contract
The checks made before signing the preliminary contract and receiving the deposit.
Title deed · atto di provenienza
How you became owner: purchase deed, gift, inheritance declaration with acceptance of the estate. The buyer's notary traces the previous transfers of ownership.
Where · A copy from the notary who drew up the deed, or a mortgage-register search from the «Consultazione personale» service.
agenziaentrate.gov.it · source read on 6 October 2026
Mortgages and outstanding loan · ipoteche
If there is a loan, the mortgage is cancelled when it is repaid, usually at the deed, with the buyer's payment.
Where · Mortgage-register search from the «Consultazione personale» service; the bank provides the payoff statement.
agenziaentrate.gov.it · source read on 6 October 2026
Systems certificates · dichiarazioni di conformità
Compliance declarations for electrical, gas and heating systems (D.M. 37/2008), if they exist. They can also be waived by agreement in the deed: it depends on the buyer.
Where · The installers who fitted the systems; for old ones, a technician's statement of adequacy.
D.M. 37/2008, dichiarazione di conformità degli impianti: non riletto · not verified on an official source
Condominium charges, if there is a condominium · spese condominiali
Ordinary and extraordinary charges already approved, rules, any disputes. The buyer can be liable for recent years' charges: better to have them clear.
Where · The condominium administrator, with a statement on the payment position.
Spese condominiali e cessione (art. 63 disp. att. c.c.): non riletto · not verified on an official source
Current lettings and CIN · CIN
Existing tenancy contracts; for short lets, the national CIN and the regional CIR, which the buyer will have to request in their own name.
Where · Your registered contracts; the CIN from the Tourism Ministry's database of accommodation.
qualitytravel.it · not verified on an official source
03
At the deed
What you need on the day of signing at the notary.
ID and Italian tax code of every seller · codice fiscale
All registered owners sign, or someone with a notarial power of attorney. Those living abroad need an Italian tax code.
Where · The tax code is requested from the Italian consulate of your country of residence or from a Revenue Agency office, also by proxy.
esteri.it · not verified on an official source
Capital gains choice, if you sell within 5 years · plusvalenza
If the gain is taxable, at the deed you can ask the notary to apply the 26% substitute tax, which the notary collects.
Where · The notary, at the deed, with the purchase deed and invoices for documented costs.

How we calculate
The items follow the order in which they are usually needed: before marketing, before the preliminary contract, at the deed. Each says where to get it and carries its source with the date we read it.
It is a checklist, not a legal review: it does not replace the notary, the surveyor or the lawyer. The items on planning compliance, habitability, systems, condominium, lettings and tax code we read only on secondary sources or in summaries: they are marked "not verified on an official source", and the exact rule must be asked of a professional.
Your ticks stay in your browser (localStorage) and do not reach us: "Start again" clears them.
