Houses in Abruzzo are not difficult to find,but they can be complicated to buy. Legal differences between your home country and Italy lead to many mis-understandings and new laws that get introduced means that printed property buying guides for Property in Italy are often out dated by the time they are printed.
As a registered Italian Estate agent ,(click on the link and enter the company name or person you are dealing with to find out if they are allowed to sell property in Italy)we receive automatic updates on new laws which apply to the purchase of a property here in Abruzzzo. We also deal almost daily with notaries and lawyers that also keep us informed on how these might be applied.
Its not simple,from the new laws on cash withdrawels,records having to be kept of transactions to protect against money laundering,privacey and even new laws on certificates of conformity regarding services to the property.
Not many people that live outside Italy can keep up with these changes, not even the normal Italian can, far less the scouting ex pat that sets up as a house selling go between. Take a careful look at who you deal with here, sales involving non registered agencies and cash payments put the property you
buy here in Abruzzo at risk.
We do not have hundreds of properties but those that we have for sale we know well, we give honest apraisals on restoration but do not have our own building company or even in house architect, we make a choice when required of someone that is suitable and local to the property and can guide you through your work with them.
