Thanks for your help Modicasa, have made an appointment with the comume. As a lot of people say there are no more permissions to build being granted, but it seems that this might not be true...Jessica

Dear Modicasa,Thank you for your kind reply. My ( Italian ) husband works in bioedilizia ( so the wood frame eco houses ). And although there are very few in Tuscany, they are allowed. And there plots where there is already premission for new houses. We have already done the renovation of a 17Cent house, and having a young family,  the thought of a second home that is warm and modern, but in a rural setting is appealing. We have a great arcitect, and the commune seems very flexible ( as long as they get the money for the permissions !).It is so much cheaper than renovating, and we wanted something different to the low stone houses in the area.However from what you say, it could be that the seller, once he looks into it, will decide not to do this kind of sale. If there is no comeback for late or missing payments...And I had not considered that a permission to build maybe witheld if the sale / ownership has fully passed to us...Londoner x
