How to renovate property

1.    The property purchase

With the purchase agreement, together with the current owner, contracts are exchanged in front of a

Notary. Now as the new owner you can begin work on your renovation project.

 

2.    The Renovation Plan

The components of the plan ( drawn up by a qualified technical team), that define the necessary work to be carried out, which in turn will allow the work to be completed are as follows:

 

Architectonic Plan

 

Establish the work to be done relative to the interior and exterior of the property; Define the type of structural work required e.g. roofing, load bearing walls etc and the architectonic style on the planimetry and facades.

On the bureaucratic front, for the completion of the Architectonic Renovation Project , make a deposit (to the Local Council Technical Department) on behalf of the person responsible for  forming the Declaration of commencement of Works, with which it is possible to begin work 30 days from the date it is given to the town hall.

Should there be any planned increases in residential surface areas, elevations, or variations to building fronts, the law requires that Building Permission is obtained, which from the point of view on approval time, will take longer.

The law also requires that the on site Works Management relating to the person responsible, draft if necessary a Plan of  Coordination and Safety within the planning stages (to be executed for the Works duration). The average total cost comes in at around 10% of the cost of completing the work.

The person responsible for work coordination and safety will on average cost 3 – 4%  of the Works sum.

 

Structural Planning

Should it be necessary to carry out work on any structural aspects of the supporting walls or the buildings coverings ( e.g. the remaking of  a roof in timber, improving seismic protection etc), then it is necessary to draft a  Structural Planning Executive. This planning is then given to the Civil “Genio” Office of the relevant Province Authority.

Its cost is on average 10% of the Structural Works. Only in some cases does the law require ( reinforced concrete etc and therefore rarely in renovation) a Static test.

 

The carrying out of Works.

 

Works, both for building and installations must be carried out by firms registered with the Chamber of Commerce and who fulfil all requisites for project completion.

Before the commencement of Works, at the presentation to the Town Hall of the Declaration to begin Works (D.I.A) or the Building Permission (P.d.C), the firm must produce the following:

1.     Documento Unico di Regolarità Contributiva (DURC);

2.     Dichiarazione Organico medio Annuo distinto per qualifica;

3.     Autocertificazioni di cui alla lettera a) comma 9 art. Del D.Lvo 81/2008.

 

These are required as a guarantee to the safety and quality of work for the owner is also responsible.

The completion of works declared by the Works Manager ,  will therefore act as a test of the works.

Should some premises have been made habitable that were not previously, a Certificate of  Fitness/Habitability must be applied for.

In the case that the premises have been widened, or they have been completed from new, it will be necessary to communicate the variations to the Ufficio del Catasto (Land Registry) with an increase in professional fees ( about 600 to 2000 Euros depending on the completed Work).
