We have finally been told that we have planning permission to add a small extension of 25sqm and pool 10x6.  We are just waiting for the official document to be sent from the Regione when the town hall fees become payable, which I am told are in the region of €2,000.

I appreciate that the fees will vary between communes but is there a general guide as to fees payable?

I am a UK citizen and I own a house in Italy. I go back and forth between Italy and the UK frequently but I am not an Italian resident. What are the benefits and disadvantages of being a resident, both from the Italian and UK viewpoint? 

I am trying to decide on what is the most cost effective way to heat my house.   At this time the only choices we have for hot water heating & domestic systems is elelctric/pellet or oil.  I have 115 sq meters stone villa and because of logistic to the property I can install a GPL tank.  I am hoping to hear from someone who has any knowlege and or experiance with these two fuel choices   At this time the easiest approach is electric but is electric the most expensive.   If so how much more.

I look forward to your help

Well done Italia on winning against France.
