When deciding to sell a property, having all documentation ready and compliant makes the difference between a slow negotiation and a secure, quick sale. Among the most important recently introduced documents is the Integrated Technical Report (ITR), required by the House Protection Decree (D.L. 69/2024), which unifies the verification of building, urban planning, and cadastral compliance in a single document.
What is the Integrated Technical Report
The ITR is a technical document prepared by a qualified professional (surveyor, architect, or engineer) that certifies the property’s compliance.
It is, essentially, an “X-ray” of the property’s actual state.
It includes:
-
property identification and cadastral data;
-
references to building permits (licenses, concessions, SCIA, etc.);
-
verification of urban planning and building compliance;
-
verification of cadastral compliance;
-
any discrepancies or construction tolerances;
-
final certified declaration of compliance.
Why Sellers Should Produce It Along with the EPC
Many property owners discover only at the time of deed signing that essential documents are missing, causing delays or even halting the sale.
Preparing the ITR together with the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a smart choice for those who want to avoid surprises.
1. Transparency and Trust
Showing the ITR to buyers conveys professionalism and reliability, guaranteeing that the property is compliant in every aspect.
2. Legal Protection
The technician certifies compliance, minimizing the risk of post-sale disputes.
3. Simplification for the Notary
The notary can immediately verify urban planning and cadastral compliance, shortening the completion time.
4. Enhanced Property Appeal
A property accompanied by ITR and EPC is perceived as ready for sale, making it more competitive even at the same price point.
5. Complete Documentation Alignment
With ITR and EPC, the seller offers dual compliance: energy and building.
Two now essential pillars in every modern real estate transaction.
Regulatory References: The House Protection Decree (D.L. 69/2024)
The Decree-Law of May 29, 2024, No. 69, known as the House Protection Decree, introduced the Integrated Technical Report to simplify bureaucracy and promote the regularization of Italian building stock.
🏛️ Article 34-bis – Integrated Technical Report
Requires that the qualified technician prepare a report that:
“describes the legal status and actual condition of the property, verifying building, urban planning, and cadastral compliance.”
The ITR can be attached to property transfer deeds, assuming declarative and certifying value.
Article 34-ter – Construction Tolerances
Defines minor geometric or construction discrepancies that do not constitute building violations, such as minimal deviations in height, thickness, or surface area.
Article 34-quater – Regularization of Minor Discrepancies
Introduces a simplified procedure for regularizing minor irregularities without complex permits, provided they comply with urban planning regulations.
In Conclusion: A “Sale-Ready” Property Is More Convincing
Presenting a property with Integrated Technical Report and EPC already prepared means offering a safe, compliant, and transparent home.
This communicates to the buyer that the property is immediately available and that the transaction can be completed quickly.
A psychological detail not to be underestimated:
a buyer perceives a “sale-ready” house as an opportunity that could slip away at any moment.
The feeling that “another buyer might step in” encourages them to act immediately, thus accelerating the sale even at the same price point.
💬 In Summary
ITR + EPC = ready property, quick sale, zero problems.
A small investment that increases the perceived value of the property and shortens negotiation times. If you want to sell your property quickly, Click HERE and we’ll develop the right strategy for your property
