If you mean agibilità - then as with most things, it depends. If your house was built before 1967 it is not a requirement, if it is new it is obligatory. If it is a rental or tourist property is it necessary, etc etc. If you have had work done with a concessione or a DIA its a good idea, and you should do it, but there is not legal requirement to do so. If your buyers need a mortgage you will need one. If you mean conformità as to the impianti, the central heating, etc then yes, they need to be certified before the sale.
Thank you modicasa. I've been

Thank you modicasa. I've been told that because the houses were built differently to the plans submitted to the local commune these need to be documented and corrected (conforma) by the town geometre. Apparently this could take several months and cost several thousand euros (over 10,000). I'm not sure if thats different to agibilita? Is this something you have heard of before?
OK, this is a different

OK, this is a different problem. When you build a house you submit a plan which the comune agrees. If you then build something different to that allowed, you have to sort it out. You have a house that is in 'difformità' and probably it can be sorted, by paying fines, sanctions and doing alot of paperwork to make it 'conforme'. However, this depends on your comune - in some cases they can tell you to make the house that which you had permission for in the first place. Whether it is your problem or the builders/constructors depends when the house was built, but yes its a long and expensive process.
Thank you for your help
