Lawyers and GeometrasHiIm based in the UK and am looking to purchase a property in Italy. However trying to find a Lawyer and Geometra to deal with the transaction seems a bit slow. The property is based on Lake Como so any reccomendations or ones to avoid please let me know. Also it seems everyone acts really slowly out there - how realistic should I be expecting replies to emails?ThanksMark

Why do you need a Geometra? They don't really deal with house purchase, more renovations/extensionsWhen I bought I didn't use a lawyer - I followed the advice of an Italian friend and left it all to the Notaio [who is 'licenced' by the commune, and is supposed to work for the benefit of both parties]The purchase went smoothly - but it does take time [as does everything in Italy]What does your estate agent advise?
