Why Bari? Bear in mind you are in the south, where unemployment is rife. Bari is a depressed large city, with big city problems. Teaching English - are you qualified? Do your research before making rash moves.
there are lots of prepay cards now. The Genius card from Unicredit doesnt even require that you are a bank customer - you can get a card which has an IBAN, have internet banking and just top up the card by bank trasnfer. Monte dei paschi do a version called Spider - but its costs more.
If you are looking for a small apartment, Idoubt you are thinking of transferring and living here full time - in which case you will be paying non-resident prices for taxes etc. Rightmove is hopelessly outdated and mostly wrong - as are most foreign portals. Since 2014 the taxes are as follows: 9% rateable value for a non residents home - (2% for a primacasa but you must become Itlaina resident within 18 months)The notary fees are in bands depending on your sale price - so for a property of around 100.000 itwould be about 2000 euros. Agencies usually take 3% plus IVA.
Gaia is absolutely right - you should sned registered letters to all the co-owers telling them that they owe their part of the condo charges and you are not legally responsible for their debts. That is, as far as you are concerned, the end of the matter. Send copies to the condominium administrator - he is paid to administrate - and he can then chase them for their payments. If there is a threat of reposession or court action you are in the clear - the debts are on the person, not the property and as the debtors do not own 100% of the property, the court is unlikely to allow an ipoteca - they would choose instead to chase them through a debt collection agency. In my opnion there is no necessity at the moment to use a solicitor - you can send a registered letter A/R, keep copies, receipts.
If you have done the succession in Italy, there are now 7 owners - you are responsible for your quota, that is all. If the succession has been done, you will know exactly how much you each own.
Then you will know that as you say on your website ' you wont have to pay an Italian agent any more' you must be cited in the act of sale, and that if you take commission on a sale, acting as an agent, you are acting wholly illegally.
Ive checked the Italiacasa website - it doesnt say it is a legally operating ITalian estate agency, nor does it say whether these people are registered real estate agents.
In my opinion no you dont, unless you are buying a very complicated property in avery complicated way. if you are planning to see a house, offer and buy with cash you have no need to shell out a fortune for a lawyer. The agent and notary should do all the necessary stuff. Make sure you use a legal agent and one who is preferably in a professional association such as FIAIP - they will have indemnity insurance and a code of conduct.
You jkust need to look around. Having seen all the American property shows it seems that if you dont want an stainless steel kitchen wiht granite tops then you cant have anything - and everything is made of cherry wood - so I reckong its the same the world over.
