Giustizia IVG Arezzo e Siena

An Istituto Vendite Giudiziarie is the body an Italian court appoints to handle the sale of seized assets in its district. This one covers the courts of Arezzo and Siena, operating from Monteriggioni, and it publishes everything those courts put up for sale — from a repossessed flat to the entire contents of a failed workshop.

What you can buy

• Immobili — houses, apartments, commercial and industrial premises and land in the two provinces.
• Mobili — vehicles, machinery, stock and equipment seized in enforcement.
• Valori e crediti — receivables and financial claims.
• Aziende — businesses sold as going concerns.

How the bidding works

The institute publishes two bulletins, one for property (Bollettino Immobiliare) and one for movables (Bollettino Mobiliare), and a calendar of sale dates. Search is by category, by procedure number or by the court body running the sale. Italian judicial property sales run to a strict statutory procedure with a deposit lodged before the sale and a set window to complete afterwards; the individual notice sets out which court, which procedure and which deadlines apply.

What to check before you bid

Note the address: the bare domain giustiziaivg.it serves a certificate that browsers reject, so use the www address. On the substance, the perizia — the court-appointed expert's report on a property — is the document that matters, and it will tell you about occupancy, planning irregularities and outstanding condominium charges, all of which pass to the buyer. Everything is in Italian.
