Last week I went to check on our house outside falerone: Ok House is stretching it a bit, lets say "part restored farmhouse". I was a lttle scared when I heard a noise upstairs.
Hi, I am shocked at the price of our gas from the bomolonne and want to get Italgas in fro all of the apartments. I wanted to get in touch with Italgas but the number on the site is only for gas escapes and not available from outside Italy.
The others have pointed out that Legna (LENYAH) is firewood as opposed to legno (LENYOH) which is timber. take down a few cuts of turf to remind you of home. It is still a little warm for a fire but i let mine last week just for the sheer romance of it
Sorry to hear of your loss I have used farina and he speaks OK English and is pretty efficient once you are with him but can be difficult to reach. If you need a lawyer rather than a Notary you can use Giovanna Salvucci on +39 3498116636 who is with marche Legal. If you want a translator let me know F
We keep meaning to come to Sicily to see friends but it is over 1000km which is just shocking! I thought it would be 3 hours, not 12! I think maybe in the Spring we should come and visit marsala F
I was a little afraid really, knowing the reputation of getting building done in Italy but I have a lifelong friend who is our architect and we put together a strong team of legal, accounting and building. Apart from delays in getting the permesso to start the work we had a pretty smooth run. We finished on time and on budget. There were a few worries on the way because the property market fell off as we were finishing and that was pretty stressful. Now we are doing well with more than half of the places sold and that makes life much easier and its very heartening when you hear your neighbours (yes, I kept one) raving about their place. It's not so much the buildings, although they are lovely and done properly, but seeing them growing to appreciate (much better in Italian "apprezare")the beauty and authenticity of the area. When they come back with good olive oil, or a fish or some great wine its just a thrill. I am back there next week an am looking forward to just being there, not doing anything in particular in the evening and looking at the sea. I also need to do Notaio which won't be fun but is a neccessary evil. Valentina, spoke to my mother and weather is a bit rainy, low 20's and looking better for the weekend. Hope it's good for the drive south... F
Hi Everyone: I am a newbie and will do an intro at the appropriate place on the Forum The sale contracts that I have participated in have all had a clause that says the written contract supercedes any verbal or previous written contract including the compromesso. If this is the case then you may not rely on the verbal assurance of the vendor. From a legal perspective, which may be miles from a fair perspective, you will find it hard to make the verbal assurance apply if this clause has been used, I would recommend that you maybe try and talk to the other objecting party as well as checking the status via the visura as suggested above Buona Fortuna F
