RemoVest
Summary of the Framework Agreement
This page is a plain-language summary of our terms. The binding document is the full Framework Agreement: it is generated at registration to match your status and is available in your account before you sign anything.
How we work
RemoVest never receives or holds your money. Every payment — for the purchase, taxes, professionals, contractors — is made by you directly to the correct recipient. We coordinate the process, verify the documentation, and check that every payment to a contractor matches the work actually completed.
Our fee pays for our own work: finding and vetting the property, coordinating the renovation, managing the paperwork. We are upfront about where our revenue comes from — including the fact that part of it comes from contractors and professionals, not only from you (see “Transparency” below).
Two paths
Buy, renovate, sell. The classic flip. Our fee for coordinating the renovation is calculated on the profit at sale — we earn when you earn.
Buy and keep it. A home to live in, not to resell. Here we cannot wait for a hypothetical future sale: our fee for the renovation is calculated on the property’s documented increase in value, assessed by an independent appraisal right after the work is completed.
Pricing — “Buy, renovate, sell”
- Preliminary property check
- When it is paid: When moving to the next step after selecting a property
- €390
- Technical due diligence (site visit by a licensed surveyor, full dossier)
- When it is paid: After the preliminary check, before committing to the deal. Credited against the sourcing fee
- €1,200
- Sourcing and deal-structuring fee
- When it is paid: 50% at the preliminary contract, 50% at completion
- Depends on the service level you choose
- Success fee
- When it is paid: On sale of the property. The rate decreases as the profit grows
- 12–15% of net profit
You choose your service level at the time of purchase — worth deciding early, because it sets the price.
Full service: we coordinate the whole path through to sale. The sourcing fee is lower (from €1,500 or 1.5% of the price), because our main revenue is the success fee at sale.
Sourcing only: you get a vetted property and the full technical dossier from us, then proceed on your own. The sourcing fee is higher (from €3,500 or 3.5% of the price), since there will be no future success fee.
If you chose “Full service” and later decide to handle the renovation without us, the difference between the two fee levels becomes payable. This is not a penalty — it is an adjustment to a price you already knew about at the start.
Pricing — “Buy and keep it”
- Preliminary check and technical due diligence
- When it is paid: Same
- Same as the flip path
- Sourcing fee
- When it is paid: 50% at the preliminary contract, 50% at completion
- From €1,500 or 1.5% of the price
- Value-added fee
- When it is paid: Right after the renovation is completed, based on an independent appraisal
- 10–15% of the documented increase in value
- Cost of the independent appraisal
- When it is paid: Billed separately: this is the appraiser’s fee, not our revenue
- €300–600
This path is available to individuals. If you plan to apply for Italy’s reduced “first home” purchase tax rate, note that the benefit requires genuinely transferring your legal residence to the property’s municipality within 18 months — a formal registration without real intent to live there creates risk for you, not for us, and we flag this explicitly during the paperwork.
Transparency: where our revenue comes from
Besides your payment, part of our revenue comes from the professionals and contractors we recommend to you: a fixed fee per accepted assignment from surveyors and architects, a percentage of the contract value from construction companies. This does not change the price you pay — you always see the full cost of a professional’s service or a contractor’s quote. On request, we will disclose the exact amount we have received from any specific contractor on your project.
If you decide to work with one of our contractors or professionals directly, bypassing the platform
We ask that you do not, for 24 months from the date of introduction — this is a condition of the mandate you give us. A breach triggers compensation tied to the fee we actually failed to earn, not an arbitrary penalty.
