In recent months, the Housing Bill has reignited the debate on one of the most sensitive issues in the real estate market: the simplification of building and urban planning procedures .
The goal is clear: to streamline the buying and selling process, reducing the time, uncertainty, and bureaucratic obstacles that often slow down or block transactions.
A key aspect of the proposal is the desire to encourage changes in intended use , including addressing regulations related to building habitability certification and declarations of conformity . This is a crucial step to enhance existing assets and make them more responsive to the current needs of buyers and investors.
Another important aspect concerns the facilitation of access to building and urban planning documentation , with the aim of allowing buyers to immediately have a clear and complete picture of the property they are evaluating.
Transparency and data certainty thus become key tools for protecting all parties involved.
The Housing Bill also introduces the principle of “tacit consent” in building practices, seeking to overcome the current rigidity of administrative deadlines and to make the competent bodies more accountable.
The attempt to streamline land registry alignment procedures also fits into this direction , reducing the discrepancies between the forms filed with the Land Registry and the actual factual situation of the property.
An important step towards a more modern, efficient market that is consistent with the reality of the built environment.
