Selling or buying a house in need of renovation is always a bit daunting. Between quotes and uncertain timelines, many buyers prefer “turnkey” solutions, forcing sellers to lower their prices. However, the 2026 Budget Law has changed the rules of the game. If you are looking for a home in Nardò or need to sell an older property, the new tax incentives are an ace up your sleeve that you absolutely must know about.
The New Two-Speed System
Forget the old complicated rules; today, the building bonus system has become much clearer and is based on a simple principle: how you intend to use the home. The legislator has created a true “double track” for IRPEF deductions. If you purchase a property to make it your primary residence, the State refunds 50% of the renovation costs. If, instead, you are buying a second home for holidays or as an investment property, the deduction drops to 36%. In both cases, the maximum expenditure limit on which to calculate the discount is 96,000 euros, reimbursable in 10 convenient annual installments.
An Advantage for Sellers
If you have inherited a house in the historic center of Nardò and think no one will want it because it requires too much work, you are mistaken. Promoting your property by highlighting the potential of the 2026 Bonus completely changes the buyer’s perception. You are not selling “an old house,” but a blank canvas to be customized at half the price.
