S.p's activity

Thanks Ugo. No the agent has arranged the notary. We made an offer, it was accepted and we signed a purchase contract and paid the deposit. All this last week. Now we are back in Ireland. I have tried to contact an English speaking Italian lawyer but it's hard to find one and am a bit in the dark.

Thanks Ugo. A bank draft is different than a check though. You must buy the draft from the bank so it does not require money in a bank account. It is equivalent of a cash payment. I do not want to transfer all the money now 2 and half months before final deed transfer. I am surprised to be asked now. Is it normal? We have transferred 50% of house price last week as a deposit.

Thanks again Steve. We are Euro here too.

Thanks for that again Steve. I hope they will accept a draft from an Irish bank. We are cash buyers so it is only a matter of drawing a bank draft on account.

Thanks Steve. Yes I have concerns regarding paying over balance now when the deed is not being signed until October. Have thought about having a bank draft on the day because it would make us feel more comfortable. There is so much too consider especially when we are not on the ground in Italy as such.

Thanks Ugo. Looks like exciting times ahead for my little family.

Thank you Modicasa. I am happy to hear from you. I will do that. It's a comfort to have this forum as a support.

Thanks Steve,
The lead agent's name is Antonio Cieri. We have no specific concerns, it's just not a position we have ever been in before and are rather cautious. Loads of other agent's have testimonials on their sites but not this one.

Thanks so much Alan h.
