I am in the process of selling a property in Sardinia, I am using the same estate agent from whom I purchased the property in 2006 to sell the property, I have received an offer and now the estate agent has come back to me to advise me that the to
Thank you for replies, we are still waiting for information from the Comune, however the agent has advised us that it looks likely that the terrace and top floor may have been added prior to 1967 when no planning permission would have been required! Definitely got my fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed for that to be the outcome!
I recognise your name, I've followed your posts on this forum and it's predecessor with much interest, thanks for all the info over the years that have made it much easier to understand and adjust to the Sardinian way of life x
Thank you so much for your response, having had a sleepless night, I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'll just have to take whatever the Comune chucks at me on the chin. Yes, I was the stupid trusting foreigner ( my ego has taken a bit of a bashing there .. ha ha x) we move out there to live permanantly in our second house in 18 months after my husband retires and to be honest I feel a little bit anxious now, I'm sure this is just a knee jerk reaction and I'll put it behind me once I get this sorted out, time to take the rose tinted glasses off and start thinking practically. The estate agent is also a well known geometra in the community and has a fair bit of clout, I think he is well aware that he hasn't done his job properly and is now going to the Comune to try and get all the necessary retrospective planning permissions on my behalf, I think he will have a much better chance of success than me given his connections. It is a small town in western Sardinia and we have always found the Comune and all our neighbours to be very helpful, supportive and friendly, I just hope that this remains the case regarding this problem! It would appear that the kitchen and upstairs loo on the second floor weren't on the original plans, and it used to be just a terrace/flat roof, so I suppose they could ask us to restore it to it's original state, fingers crossed that they are in feeling generous and allow us to take the easy route, but gee I hate parting with my hard earned cash at the best of times! Hard lesson currently being learned methinks! Thank you Ram, I really appreciate your input.
