Selling your house is a big moment, so follow these steps to make sure you’re doing it right:
1. Prepare the documentation: First things first, it’s a good idea to gather up all the important documents related to the property, including, but not limited to, the property deeds; the cadastral plans showing all the usable and built land; proof of the meter readings and records of the annual energy costs; Energy Performance Certificate; any outstanding mortgage loans against the property; rental agreements if it is being rented; and anything else you’ve got. All of these will be needed to sell the place.
2. Set the price: Valuing the property correctly is essential if you want to put it on the market for a fair price and actually sell it. Asking too much will disrupt and delay the sale process. You can either pay a professional surveyor to value it for you, or have an estate agent do it for you for free. If not, you can use the valuation services available on idealista (only in Italian) and other property websites.
Putting your property up for sale
3. Put it on the market: It’s highly recommendable to go through an estate agency for this, provided it’s a good one, as they will handle everything for you and they’re experts. Alternatively, you can advertise the property yourself on web portals, in newspapers and by sticking flyers on lampposts. If you put one price in one listing and the estate agency another, though, it may create mistrust and put people off. The price should be the same everywhere, no matter who puts it up.
Biccari, Italy: 'We have set up an online catalogue of houses from 1 to 30,000 euros'

A town of 2,600 inhabitants with a medieval feel, it is surrounded by rich and fertile nature (such as Lake Pescara and Mount Cornacchia). Here the 1 euro house project is struggling to get off the ground because people coming from abroad prefer to buy homes in a better state of preservation, and not in need of such serious work.
