Italian estate agent fees are higher than those of the UK - typically somewhere in the region of 2 to 4% of the price paid for the property (rather than its declared value).
In addition, it is common for the responsibility for payment of the estate agent fees to be split between the purchaser and vendor 50/50, so that can be a surprise hidden cost for the unwary.
