All this talk of geothermal energy,sounds expensive!What about solar power,energy for free?With our restoration project our geometra advised us to have solar panels shown on the plans.Basicly it will be funded through the bank via a loan this is p
Need advice on cost of renovation of roof/house is old farmhouse 120sqm/geometra says it needs new insulation to be bring it up to modern building standards.Also blasting of old plaster on exterior to reveal old stonework.Can anyone help?
Hi Christine, We also were looking for a house at the same time.We found a very good agent and have since purchased a lovely old farmhouse in the countryside near Atessa.Everything went very well and we are now submitting plans with our geometra for restoration.Just wondered if everything went well for you.
The house is old with no modern facilities but the structure is sound and roof in good condition.The geometra has sent plans with the DIA document that you stated and he told us that he would put a modern type of insulation( which is not seen) under the outer cotto tiles,when he does the restoration.He showed us this type of insulation in a roof he had just completed,it was quite cool under the roof space,on what was a very hot day.So again Adriatica what you have said about up to date building standards seems to be what my geometra is doing for me and then gaining the proper final certificates. The external plaster needs to be removed because of damp/water penetration between it and the stone and because of its removal we will keep the stonework visible. Thanks for your good up to date information.
Thanks Abruzzese for your good wishes.We are also useing a local geometra but he is very honest and we feel very happy with him.Now you have put doubt in our minds,are you able to say his name on this forum?If not then just his initials.
Many thanks for your comments i will now contact my geometra and check on the method he will use to strip the outer plaster to reveal the stonework. Thanks again Atessa
Hi everyone,am new to the site,We have just bought an old farmhouse in Abruzzo near the town of Atessa.The house 120sqm is in good condition but needs renovating.What would be the cost of roof works ? Our Geometra says it needs modern insulation,which means the whole roof is to be stripped back and replaced.
