Just wondering if anyone has any helpful advice/ experiences of obtaining an Italian mortgage for a non-resident. Some friends of ours are looking to buy a house and are asking if it is easy process and where is best to try first. Many thanks.

My head hurts!If some Italian friends come down, do they have to buy a full book of tickets or could they just buy say a burger for say €2.50 as I feel €10 would be a bit much for them and would feel mean if they went hungry. Maybe we could set prices for the other bits or is that just too complicated.Also have been asked to put a poster up in the local newsagent/ stationers shop as the locals were very interested - I know we said no before but the lady that runs the shop did ask and we feel it is rude not to invite them?????? Help!
Just had an interesting hour or so in Comunanza!1. BBQ base tray now gone down from €300 to €70 - still think it is very expensive, but if that is what we have to pay then we will2. BBQ withmetal legs now €150 - Jana - help please -can you see if you can get it any lower!!!3. Met a very nice young man and he is an Illusionist - juggling/ games/ balloon modeling/ fire eating etc etc but unfortunately he is working in Civitanova on the 21st at a kids party but he will call in if he gets finished early and bring along a water game with tubes and things - sounds fun! Was very interested in what we are doing and willing to help in the future!4. Local butchers - 80c per homemade hamburger! 40c per homemade sausage 80c per pork chop (not looking too good)5. Got some pink raffle - type tickets Jana, so if we can meet up and hand some over to you6. Cheapest wine €5 for Trebbiano7. Plastic cups (clear) €1.50 for 50 in Smoll?Probably missed stuff out as lots going on!
You are so clever!
Plastic tubs for change / collecting money (can we all save some)Change floatBoxes for rubish (S & M to get)Black bags (S & M)Ticket Books (Mox to try out)Plates, cups, cutlry etc (A & R to get)Poster for prices for 'extra items'Gazebo (A & J)Wine / Beer (S & M to get prices)Food (A & J prices & S & M to compare)Games (A & J)Guess Number of Sweets in Jar & Sheet to write down guesses (Mox)Loo RollKitchen RollPaper NapkinsFire Guard!!!Fire Exinguiser!!! (S & M have a small one)First Aid Box (S & M have a small one too)
If every thing is €1 or 50c then we dont need too much small change do we. Keep it simple. Also we shall all need to keep receipts of any extra's we buy as in plates (A) etc. A & J and us off on thurs for a price comparison trip and hope to find out about the wine too.
Mark and bread spring to mind! Yes exactly - David / Mark can do portion control - 2 items in the meat ticket from the list, 1/4 pizza, JP, salads & a drink. Thats what we thought about the prices too. Beer 53c ish in Lidl.Water, oj (€1.19 in Lidl for big carton), coke, fanta? Should be fine!
Just thought about the tickets and if this is ok with everyone: How about 1 x meat voucher ( 2 items from: pork chop or sausage or veggie option or burger) 1 x jacket potato 1 x pizza slice 1 x salad selection 1 x drink (glass of wine red or white/ mineral water/ orange juice/ beer) Tickets need to clearly state what and how much of the item is included!!!Need to do a price list of 'extra's' like glass of wine, beer (if doing it Lidl beer???), soft drink, extra burger etc
Fantastic Mr Badger - Thank you so much - hope I win!!!!
Thanks for asking Jinty - yes really do have some really fantastic prizes now and not too many BBQ tickets left - so anyone able to come please PM us asap to avaoid disappointment! Our next step is the silent auction, coming soon - We have some great donations to auction so watch this space as it will be announced any day now.
