We have had our house here (prima casa) since September 2007. We now want to return to the UK but we are not going to sell our house, but retain it as a holiday home.
In summer our panels produce boiling water and sometimes the pressure release valve emits boiling water.We will be going back to the UK for part of this summer.
They check the microchip, then issue the passport, about 20 minutes all in. We had to pay an additional 8 euro for the passport. We were sent a bolletta which we paid at the post office. Being Italy this arrived about 2 months after the passport was issued. Steve
We are in the process of buying a new VW, LHD. VW group cars are available new as UK spec with LHD if required. No premium on purchase price. This will save us about 7000 euro. It will be insured with Stuart Collins as is our present car . We have had our present car (RHD UK registered) here for nearly 3 years and no one has made any comment. I think that now all Shengen countries have no restrictions on car registration and usage I think that even though the UK has not signed up to the accord we are flying under the radar. We also have a very small italian registered car insured with Direct line which has the same insurance cost for third party as our UK car has for fully comp. Hope this helps Steve
I agree with the above comments. Our commune required a complete insurance package (about 1000 euro each) . we tried with a more restricted policy and this was turned down (for our own protection in the eyes of our anagrafe) so no complaints.
We have just had an Imhoff and a large pozza perdente fitted in our house. This involved 2 very large holes, one 4 metres deep by 3 metres square. Including decommissioning the old system and new grease traps for the white water total cost was less than 3000 euro.

Try Ultima money or FairFx. We have used both and have gotten good service and exchange rates!
