Can you hold a UK bank account without a UK address while living in Italy?
Having recently moved to Italy I think that I have most things sorted including residency, identity card, codice fiscale, bank account, property etc. What do I need to register with an Italian doctor?
We have just been quoted 2,200€ plus IVA for an alarm for a 3 bedroom house. This seems ridiculous compared to UK prices. Has anyone got any recommendations?

Hello,I am driving from the UK to Rome in August - probably through Dover-Calais.Which route to people recommend? The shortest appears to be through France which I assume is the way the SatNav would take me?
If I were to move to Italy but continue to run my business in the UK I assume that I would pay UK income tax (as a sole trader)? Would I also have to pay any income tax in Italy assuming that Italian income taxes are higher at the moment?
As a UK resident and tax payer if I sell a property in Italy which is subject to capital gains tax (more than would be payable in the UK) can I reclaim the difference on my UK tax return?
Hello,I am thinking of relocating to Italy with my 2 children - a boy of 5 and a girl of 3.

Thank you for your replies.I did the CELTA course at International House in Rome. I found the course good, but to be honest, it is not as good as it could or should be. However, the people I met on the course were great.
Okay thank you Julia,I will let you know how I get on.
Thank you.
Thank you Julia - very useful information. I think that the form is now called form S1. I have applied to Newcastle for one. i have also been running a business in the UK for over 20 years so we will see. Did you get registered?
Thanks Alan.I am still struggling I am afraid.
Hi Steve,I bought some land in 2006. A couple of years later a young chap came to ask 'why are you building a house on my land?'.It turns out his uncle had bought the same piece of land from our vendor many years ago but had not registered the sale. His uncle died before it was registered. His nephew 'inherited' the land on turning 18 but by that time we had bought it legally.Unfortunately for him there was nothing the nephew could do about it because we had done everything legally through an estate agent and a notary. With regards to your situation I would not worry if you can speak to the owners of both properties and they both want to sell. Split properties are common in Italy.

Another alternative is 'Linkem'. Coverage seems to be weak in rural areas. You can find coverage in your area on their website.
Thank you.
Thanks Alan. Do you know if they are easy to fit and set up?
