Buying a house in Tuscany to rent

Key figures for a rental purchase in Tuscany

Entry price

From €39,000 on the open inventory. Each price is in the table below. Taxes and purchase costs come on top.

Capital you need

The price of the opportunity you choose, plus taxes, the notaio and registration. The brief states the total before any reservation.

Gross yield

Not published as one figure for Tuscany. If a brief states a yield, it is an estimate from the developer or from observed ranges: indicative, not guaranteed.

Purchase costs

Imposta di registro, imposta ipotecaria, imposta catastale, notaio and registration. The rate depends on the seller and the use. This page states no percentage.

Annual costs

Condominium, IMU as a second home, the waste charge and utilities. Amounts depend on the building and the comune.

Time to completion

Stated in each brief. This page does not give one number of weeks for every purchase.

Atlas Oikos fee

In Italy the fee is the local agency commission. The WhatsApp group is free.

Open Italian opportunities

Why buy a rental home in inland Tuscany?

A purchase here is a specific home, registered in your name, not a share in a fund and not a crowdfunding ticket. Atlas Oikos looks for apartments, lofts and houses in inland borghi, and publishes the price on the opportunity itself. The same three filters apply as in Spain and Paraguay: accessible entry capital, return potential and verified rental demand. How that filter is applied is on the selection criteria page.

The service stops at handover of the keys. Atlas Oikos does not manage the later rental and does not administer the asset. If you want the wider picture of buying without travelling, read buying property remotely.

Which areas are these opportunities in?

The open homes sit inland, mostly in the provinces of Pisa and Livorno: Terricciola, Collemontanino, Casciana Terme, Casciana Terme Lari, Castellina Marittima and the Pisa hills. One apartment is in Montepulciano. One house is in Trecchina, in southern Italy, which is outside Tuscany. They are not on the coast, and they are not in Florence.

The place matters as much as the price, because a rental has to meet local demand outside the peak weeks of summer. A practical list of what to confirm, in person or by video, is in what to check when buying in Tuscany.

How do you buy from abroad?

You can complete the purchase without travelling. Visiting is welcome and it is not required.

1. Read the opportunity, then ask for the brief before you reserve anything.
2. Reserve and run due diligence with the local legal and notary partners.
3. Obtain a codice fiscale, which is required and free, and sign a power of attorney if you will not attend the signing.
4. Complete at the notaio and take the keys. That is where the Atlas Oikos service ends.

The four stages, in more detail, are on how it works.

What taxes does a non resident pay in Italy?

On the purchase, a non resident should budget for imposta di registro, imposta ipotecaria and imposta catastale, plus the notaio and registration. Which rate applies depends on who the seller is and on the use of the home. Prima casa treatment is rarely available if you are not resident. The prezzo valore mechanism is described, without a rate copied onto this page, in the guide to taxes for a non resident buyer.

Each year there are condominium fees, IMU when the home is a second home, the waste charge and the utilities. This page does not publish those amounts, because they change with the building and the comune. The brief of the opportunity is the place to see the costs that are known before you reserve.

What are the risks?

A yield written on a brief is an estimate supplied for that home. It is not a promise, and past rents do not assure the next one. Works, snagging and the delivery date are in the brief, and they can move. A remote signing stands or falls on the power of attorney, so it has to match the act you are authorising.

You also take ordinary ownership risks: vacancy, condominium decisions, and a tax position that depends on your own residence. Nothing on this page is financial, tax or legal advice.
