SERVICES FOR THE SELLER



After visiting your property, the staff of MARILENA IMMOBILIARE, will evaluate it according to the REAL market value of the area, including a cost estimate of ancillary and tax related expenses.

After having evaluated your property and its potential, we decide together whether home staging may increase the possibilities of selling it at the maximum price the market will bear within a feasible deadline.

Sometimes, we only do a few interventions to “dress-up” a given property before an appointment. Some other times, we will need to prepare a potential refit rendering – for example, for farm buildings needing work –, or small maintenance work, to refresh the building and render your home more bright and welcoming. Very often, investing some resources in these terms may help running for a better sell price.

We market your property, both locally and on a national level through major specialized magazines, on line websites, dedicated portals, major daily newspapers and leaflets.
We check the urban documentation of each property and quickly make land and mortgage checks, as well as map and planimetry extracts.

In addition, through field-professionals –architects and surveyors–, we are able to carry out the APE (Energy Performance Certificate), cadastral mapping updates and municipal procedures where necessary in order to protect the owner according to the regulations in force.

Whenever a seller finds the customer autonomously, it is our duty to handle all the contractual obligations that enable the seller to conclude the sale  – avoiding him all the cumbersome bureaucratic tasks – guided by a field professional:

  • Mortgage registry search.
  • Preparation of the preliminary agreement.
  • Filing of the preliminary agreement.
  • Management and delivery of the deposit.
  • Preparation of the notarial act in collaboration with the Notary.

Here are some basic rules that can prevent unpleasant surprises.

  • Specify in the preliminary contract the fixed price, the down payment, the confirmatory deposit or penitential deposit – agreed irrespective of the size of the property – the payment methods to be used only at the time of the sale deed (if a sum is required first it is good to specify the Confirmatory deposit) and the essential deadline within which the deed must be stipulated.
  • Delivery of the deposit and/or down payment.
  • Filing of the proposal/preliminary agreement.
  • Find all the needed documentation for the conclusion of the act.
  • Being present at the act, delivering the keys and due balance price.
  • Withdrawal and delivery of the copy of the notarial deed of transcript.




SERVICES FOR THE BUYER



  • Once you have chosen your property, you need to make a proposal. If the deal is successful, the proposal would stand as a preliminary contract. However, the buyer is protected in case of non-delivery of the mortgage if this is included as an obligation in the proposal.
  • Registration of the preliminary contract at no expense, except for expenses provided by law.
  • Direct contact with the Bank to provide the necessary documents for the property valuation and the relevant inspection.
  • Delivery of the deposit to the seller.
  • Right to compensation for mediation in favour of the agency.

Financial Advisors will help you evaluate the payment plan and to choose the best loan for your  needs among the most important Banking Institutions before formalizing your purchase proposal.

Here are some basic rules that can prevent unpleasant surprises.

  • Find and view the document of origin of the property (e.g. sale, donation, inheritance, etc.).
  • Check if there are third party rights on the property (e.g. mortgage, usufruct, etc.).
  • Check whether the property is free from people or occupied and, if so, with what title, etc.
  • Verify the existence of the habitability/accessibility certification, the energy performance certificate (APE, according to the Italian initials) and the urban landing certificate (CDU, according to the Italian initials) for land sales.
  • If the property unit is in a condominium it is good to ask the administrator a statement about the debtor’s position of the apartment or the presence of legal disputes. The administrator will also be required to provide a statement of the seller’s regular position until the day of the notarial act.
  • Find all the documentation required to conclude the act, provide it to the notary specifying any special agreements or clauses to be included.
  • Being present at the act, delivering the keys and due balance price.
  • Withdrawal and delivery of the copy of the notarial deed of transcript.

  • In particular, in case of second homes, we can provide assistance on maintenance of the property. We know well-established professionals in every sector: from plumbers to electricians, blacksmith, masons, gardeners.
  • Assistance in transfer of utilities.
  • Management of the rental contract in agreement with the owner.

 

SERVICES FOR THE LANDLORD

 

After viewing the property and taking into account the landlord’s needs, Marilena Immobiliare’s lettings agents will carry out the property valuation in order to make sure that current market conditions are met.

The valuation will be based on the characteristics of the property, whether it is furnished or not, close to local facilities, etc. and takes into account what has already been rented in the same area by the Agency.

Following the valuation of your property, we consider its potential and how to proceed to increase the possibilities to lease the property at the best deal in a reasonable time.

Sometimes there may be some internal and external details that need to be “dressed-up” before a viewing. In other cases, small maintenance work is required to refresh the property and make the house brighter and more cozy. Often this may help rent your property faster and add value to the final agreement.

Advertising will focus on promoting your property all over the Aosta Valley through specialized print media (magazines, local bulletins, newspapers), on rental websites and web portals, print leaflets distributed in the different local shops and offices, bars, tobacconists, etc.. And of course, your property will be showcased in the agency as well.

Over the years, the Agency has created a database with all appropriate information on the customers of choice in order to be able to only propose tenants with good personal references and the necessary economic guarantees (contract of employment and pay slips in the case of an employee, and annual declaration of income in the case of self-employed).

Thanks to our collaborators in the insurance and banking sector, where appropriate, our Agency proposes as an additional guarantee for the entire duration of the contract, the opening of a surety (on the tenant’s expense) in order to protect the landlord in case the tenant does not fulfill with payments. This surety will not necessarily exclude the claim for the damage deposit, which is useful in case of damages to the property during the lease.

The Agency is responsible for drafting the contract, which will be tailored to the needs and requirements previously agreed upon between the parties. Then, the tenancy agreement is read in the presence of the concerned parties and signed right after.

The Agency will calculate the due taxes and related stamps (where applicable). This is an expense to be shared among the landlord and the tenant. Right after, the Agency will register the agreement in a timely manner as provided by law, and will provide both parties with both a complete record of the agreement and the registration record.

If for any reason the tenancy reaches its end early, the Agency will take care of finding a new tenant within the shortest delay possible.

 

 

SERVICES FOR THE TENANT

 

Marilena Immobiliare lettings agents will visit the properties of choice with you and will help you, if needed, with any further requirements (checking the different areas, furnishing, etc.).

The Agency helps the tenant in providing all the needed documentation regarding personal and economic guarantees so that the tenancy proposal becomes a successful one.

We will ask you to complete a form in which all the requirements and requests, by both the landlord and the tenant, are specified in order to reach an agreement (date tenancy start, duration, type, end date, etc.). At the time of signing the tenancy proposal, the client will provide the Agency with a deposit. In case an agreement with the landlord is met, this deposit will be delivered to the landlord and cited as first-month-rent in the tenancy contract that will be subsequently signed. Otherwise, it will be returned to the tenant.

The Agency is responsible for drafting the contract, which will be tailored to the needs and requests previously agreed upon by the parties. At the moment of signature, the tenant will provide the landlord a security deposit and / or a guarantee (if agreed and requested) for any damages that might occur during the tenancy. This will be specified in the tenancy agreement as a biding clause.

The tenancy agreement is read in the presence of the concerned parties, signed and keys delivered.

The Agency will calculate the due taxes and related stamps (where applicable). This is an expensed to be shared among the landlord and the tenant. Right after, the Agency will register the agreement in a timely manner as provided by low, and will provide both parties with both a complete record of the agreement and the registration record.
