This link in para 8 http://www.delgiudice.clara.net/ENG/NEW-IVIE-TAX.htm indicates there is the concept of "freehold" and "leasehold" here in Italy, does anyone know

Does anyone know if you can get RAI (in fact all Italian digital channels) on a Sky Italia digi box and how?

Hi  We need urgent information on this as we have been told what looks like rubble to us is "stabilizzante" a mix of gravel and sand to harden off and level out an area where a building has been knocked down to create a solid base....?

Hi   Has anyone any idea if the Italian Poste has the equivalent of a bankers draft and if so, are there are any limits on the amount and what is the cost...?

  Anyone care to hazard a guess at the current cost to have an old(ish) 250sqm house rewired? Also do you know if they do low level voltage lighting?

We are unsure about moving articles over there as opposed to buying when we get there, but know it will likely cost more to buy over there and be more hassle. So we want to get an idea of the cost of moving some of our stuff out there?

  We are here in Abruzzo now and are thinking about privately buying a car. We have been told we need a notario to buy, is that correct? If this is the case does anyone have any idea of the likely cost?

Seen this question asked many times over the last few years, number of answers, might be worth a search. Have you looked at any insurance brokers for property aboroad?

Amato 00393386154057smiley

I'm guessing you already know this guy?  I only know of him from the local Abruzzo forum and his house ads, from which I would not particularly seek him out. I did have contact details for a guy called Amato (?) who works out of Penne, but does travel. But suspect they have been dumped, he is doing work for a friend right now, so I’ll ask them for details. They are a bit “iffy” on providing such, so I would not bank on it.He has not done work for us but has done several jobs for the friends at different times and I've seen how well they work - they are good.

A bit pointless I think if you do not speak Italian, and I would suggest it is not a good idea to post your number on an open forum. Use Google translate to translate the web page, most web browsers right click on page and translate or install something to do it for you. You really will need to understand the basic Italian for renting at least.

The link I posted is CASA.it i.e. an agents website with rentals and the cost

Mon, 10/28/2019 - 06:37

Have you had a look on casa.it here?

Sounds to me you really need to find out what she is expecting and why. Hopefully Modi can help better, but would she be perhaps thinking she is entitled to part/quota of your father-in-laws estate?

You also have to take into account the standing charges, however we found in reality once we got rid of the light bulbs throughout, electricity cost us no more than the UK. Then again we live very differently in Italysmiley

Sorry to hear that. I know it is a worry as we have a friend who is just in the process of selling and she has been back in the UK for 2-3 years or more. For her it was not quite as bad as she had lived there for some years and knows what needs to be paid and has had someone to keep in touch and help keep things in order. What is your agent doing and have they been of any help?

Hopefully some other members here (good agents) will answer, but just to get an idea have a look at this guys Sean Carlos information.
