Rent-to-Buy has become a rising trend since Italy has approved the Decree 133/2014 (Sblocca Italia) to revitalize the real estate sector.
These measures have attracted the interest of potential home buyers unable to get a mortgage or immediately raise all the funds needed to buy a property.
Basically, a promissory purchaser can immediately start living in the property as a tenant with the option to purchase it at a later date.
