Anyone with a clean UK driving license interested in driving my car from Umbria to the UK, and/or back, in July so I can get it MoT'd? It will have been serviced and it is fully insured with European breakdown cover. I am just not confident enou
If anyone is looking for a reliable, honest and hardworking guy to do any building, decorating or general renovation work in the south-west Umbria region (Citta Della Pieve), I know just the man. His work is good and his charges are reasonable. P
Travelling from Reims to Parrano, Umbria. Can anyone advise the best, shortest & cheapest route with minimal use of toll roads through France etc, accepting that we will use the autostrade through Italy. Thanks.
Can anyone help or know someone who can sort this out for me – cheaply!?I think I need to apply for residency in Italy. However, I will not be a ‘full-time’ resident, maybe up to or just over half the year for the time being.....
Recommendations please.... Where, other than Ikea, would you advise the best place to buy good second hand or new furniture in or near western Umbria. Anyone moving and hove some for sale? I need beds, sofas, kitchen cabinets, appliances etc.
Sorry, thought I would be notified of new posts, obviously did not tick the right box! Thank you all. If it is any consolation... I am totally confused as well! Firstly, I am NOT trying to do anything illegal... I do rather resent that comment. Obviously ignorance, lack of knowledge on the subject and mis-information to date has not provided me with the correct facts (including the agency with whom I purchased the property!). I had honestly assumed until a few days ago, that when asked if this was my "Prima Casa", that they meant 'was this my first house in Italy?' It would seem for now, that residency is not the option to go for as I had been previously led to believe, as I am unlikely to be in Italy for more than the 183 days....... at the moment at any rate. (I will have to make sure I am not!) As you all advise, it is not just a simple matter of saving 7% tax on the property purchase... It appears that the accumulated costs of taking out full residency are likely to be far more costly in a number of ways. I still have a year to decide, so will follow any posts on this topic with interest. I will also find the time to read previous posts on the subject, which yes, maybe I should have done first. This obviously affects IMU too? As I have already mistakenly (I now know) paid the 3% tax on the property, how would I go about paying the remaining 7%? Just walk in to the Comune & say "sorry, changed my mind, here's the other 7%"?!! I did understand that you had to have residency to buy a car? Again, I am getting conflicting advice. Can anyone provide a definitive answer please?
