The Unlock Italy Decree (LD 133/2014 converted into Law 164/2014) has introduced significant amendments to the Consolidated Construction Law. Below are the main changes in constructions: Combination and splitting The operating range of maintenance and small transformation has widened, as they may be implemented with a mere “notice of work started” (Cil) sworn by a designer. Therefore splitting up or combining property units and all extraordinary maintenance even involving changes to volumes and surfaces of the individual units are “free”. This simplification might potentially involve all the approximately 26 million Italian homeowners. Before the Unlock Italy Decree all construction projects on existing properties that modified the surface or volume were subject to planning permission, with the subsequent procedure for issuing the municipal decision within 90 days and payment of the contribution of the construction cost. Now, however, it will be possible to carry out these works – provided the total volume of the building is not altered –with the simple help of a qualified engineer, who sends the project and the certification of building-planning compliance to the Municipality; after that work can start immediately. Building permit Reduced deadline for the examination (from 120 to 60 days) for municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants; possibility of requesting extension of the permit’s validity beyond three years from the start of the works, due to technical difficulties or events occurred (in fact a very large number of cases); finally, you can easily apply for some non-essential variants to the project with a simple SCIA (certified start-up notification) without having to apply for a new permit. Three amendments that simplify citizens’ life to a certain extent also for more complex works (building renovations that entail changing volume or facade, extensions, new constructions). Urban upgrade Municipalities and Regions may reduce primary and secondary urbanisation, construction costs and the construction contribution, to incentivise building renovation works as opposed to new constructions, with a view to limiting soil consumption. Single construction regulation Awaited by professionals and firms to do away with the over 8,000 municipal regulations in force today. It will be ready within November 2015 and implemented by Government, Regions and local autonomous authorities. 20% IRPEF deduction Up to 300 thousand Euro, of expenses incurred between 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2017, to purchase new homes in energy class A or B, or renovate existing homes, and let them at regulated rent for at least 8 years. Rent to buy The "rent to buy" regulations are rearranged, governing the contract for use tied to the subsequent sale of real estate.
