Rural houses may lack mains water or drainage, so check how water arrives, whether there is a storage tank and how waste is handled. Land in the contrade is generally agricultural, and the comune can tell you whether any building is allowed on it.
Inherited Sicilian properties are often held by several relatives, so all owners must sign. Work with a notary, and have a geometra confirm that the house and its land are correctly registered and that any buildings have permits. Sicily is seismic, so have the structure assessed.
