Hello, my husband and I own a house in Tuscany jointly - would it be worthwhile putting the house into one name to reduce the accountants fees for the calculation of IMUs?  It’s going up each year and would be half the cost for one of us.

Rubbish Tax Bagni Di LuccaHello, we have owned this house over 5 years.  It was uninhabitable for the first two years, then we camped out for one year and then more renovations including a new roof for our 4th year.

HelloCould anyone on this site please clarify the ENEL charges to non residents?  Our old house in the North’s bills went up to €100 due to the tv licence, but since changing agents dropped to €25, what a difference.

I wish you well, we have to trust people and when you get over again all may sorted.

Please be careful, we had a very bad time and our money just ran away. I wonder who your agent is? We've switched and are much happier.  Please message me if you need somebody really good to look for you, it may cost you for an hour's work but you would have a reputable English speaking builder helping.  Could someone be staying in the house when your not there and how often is your house checked? I know some people had to switch houses when the snow was bad last year and roofs were damaged.  Luckily there are some wonderful people in that village, so were sticking there but last year was such a different story.

Thank you. We have an estate agent but have not received any paperwork for the money we have paid out for the purchase of the property yet.  Is this normal? It's been 5 months and have only just received the Deeds. It's so different to buying in the UK.

HelloWe've just purchased in Bagni, how do we work out how much tax needs to be paid twice a year? Also do you use agents on your behalf to pay these bill or do you pay everything yourself?Thanks
