 Hi thereThank you for your help with recommending a solicitor to help with a potential property purchase in Italy.  I'd like to pick your collective brains again, if possible! We have seen a property in Italy that we are interested in (in Grosseto province, Tuscany), and the estate agent has sent some documentation relating to it.  According to the Certificato di Destinazione Urbanistica (dated 1990), the property is in a zone designated as E1, with the following text: "agriculture bound to respect the current set-up. In the aforementioned areas the construction of new buildings and works that can modify the naturalistic, ecological, landscape and topographical conditions of the places is forbidden".   We have questions about this, eg have the rules changed since then, could an extension be applied for in the future (assuming a successful purchase!).  In the UK, a solicitor would deal with this, by contacting the local planning department, but the Italian solicitor has advised that we speak to a tecnico / technician to check answers to our questions. Grateful if anyone could help with the following questions:Could any tecnico advise on this, relating to the wording in the document, or would it need to be someone who knows the area, or who is based in the area?Is there someone that you could recommend that would be able to help with this type of information? Many thanks Fran

The short answer is no the rules havent changed.  The seller must anyway provide a new CDU before the sale, .  It is unlikely that in Tuscany the rules will be relaxed.E1 includes agricultural land that is environmentally sensitive, and it is virtually impossible to change the classification.  The Tuscany region has its rules, and the province too.   On top of all that are the national laws.   You shouldnt buy a property in the hope that things will change.  Here are the rules for PISA province:   http://www.provincia.pisa.it/uploads/2012_04_4_14_10_21.pdf

Modi ,  "provices" institution , is ended , in Italy , from beginning of the 2017 year - based italian Central State amministration . even if all employees are seated in their seats, and receive their salary, they are not actually operational and the regulations issued are no longer applicable, simply because they are employed, they have no more decision-making power - crying

You have commissioned and you are paying a solicitor, these searches are his task, for which you pay him. As for the possibility that, over time, the building codes change radically in that or in other areas of Italy, this is completely normal and highly unpredictable. Furthermore, in Italy there is a principle: every law or regulation - in particular building regulations - issued by the central state must be approved and regulated by the regional administration, and this SECOND BASIC regulation can be regulated and applied, unlike any other common - If you enter, in this thread of thought, it will be extremely easy to understand that your question, about the possibility that a building law does not undergo profound changes in the future, is profoundly meaningless. In any case, your solicitor, should go to the building office of the municipality, to get the answer to his question and amazes, that he does not know it.
