Agronomist in Sardinia for International Buyers and Investors

Independent agricultural and rural property advice in Sardinia for international buyers, landowners and investors.

Buying rural property in Sardinia can involve planning restrictions, agricultural rules, landscape constraints and documents that are difficult to assess from abroad. I help you understand the real potential and risks of a property before you sign or invest.

I am Giuseppe Spada, a registered Agronomist (ODAF Sassari, no. 1003). I work throughout Sardinia and provide clear technical advice, written findings and coordination with architects, engineers and other specialists when required.

Services and indicative professional fees

Preliminary property screening — from €450 + 4% EPAP
Remote review of the property listing, location, documents supplied by the client and intended use, followed by a concise written preliminary opinion and recommended next checks. This screening does not replace full due diligence.

Purchase price assessment — from €650 + 4% EPAP
A focused, independent opinion on whether the asking price appears consistent with the available information, property characteristics and relevant market evidence. This is not a formal valuation or a guarantee of the future sale price.

On-site agricultural property assessment — from €800 + 4% EPAP
Site inspection covering the land, access, existing crops, water availability, rural buildings and visible agricultural issues. Planning, cadastral and building-compliance checks are not included unless specifically quoted.

Rural property and agricultural land valuation — from €900 + 4% EPAP
Independent valuation of agricultural land, rural buildings and farm assets based on the agreed purpose, documentation, property characteristics, location and comparable evidence. Farms with several buildings, specialised crops or business assets require a tailored quotation.

Agricultural property due diligence — from €1,300 + 4% EPAP
Technical review of planning classification, cadastral information, agricultural use, constraints, access, water and other matters that may affect the purchase decision. The exact checks are defined in writing for each property.

Agricultural feasibility and development assessment — from €1,300 + 4% EPAP
Assessment of whether the intended farming, vineyard, olive grove, truffle-growing, agritourism or rural development project is realistically achievable.

Full technical support during a rural property acquisition — from €2,500 + 4% EPAP
Ongoing buyer-side assistance from initial screening to technical checks, discussions with the professionals involved and support before completion.

Assessment of damage to land, crops and rural property — quotation on request
Technical assessment and documentation of damage caused by events such as fire, flooding, unauthorised occupation or damage to crops, trees, fences and agricultural improvements. Reports intended for disputes or court proceedings are quoted separately.

Post-purchase agricultural project support — quotation on request
Technical assistance after acquisition, including farm planning, specialised crops, rural development, administrative procedures and coordination with other professionals.

These starting fees apply to assignments of standard scope with adequate documentation. Each property and project is assessed individually. Final fees depend on size, location, available records, urgency and complexity. Travel, laboratory tests, official fees and the work of other professionals are quoted separately. No service begins before the client has approved a written scope and quotation.

When to contact me

• Before signing a purchase proposal or preliminary agreement
• When a property is advertised as suitable for building or agritourism
• When you need an independent view of the land’s agricultural potential
• Before investing in vineyards, olive groves or a new farm
• When Italian documents or local rules are unclear

How the process works

1. Initial review: you send the property link, location, documents and your objectives.
2. Defined scope: I explain the checks needed and provide a written quotation.
3. Technical assessment: desktop checks, site inspection and contact with relevant professionals or offices as agreed.
4. Clear conclusions: you receive practical findings, risks and recommended next steps in English.
