Grazie per il consiglio. E stato utile. Lisa
Si. Capisco. But I do not have a residence in Italy as yet. I need Euro to open the bank account. Therefore I need to change my USD to Euro prior to opening an account. Does that make sense?
Thanks. We are working with a lovely woman at Currencies Direct named Virginia. Do you know what amount you need to open an account? Our plan is to open with a small amount (not sure how much) and then transfer additional from Currencies. Grazie.
Yes. That seems to be the case. We will just hang on for the next turn of events.... Mille grazie. Lisa
Grazie for your responses. The preliminary agreement has in fact been registered and transcribed. I do feel we have a reliable realtor who is connected to to larger agencies in Europe. Hehas said that since the preliminary agreement has been transcribed by the notaio that we can indeed block the seller from selling to a third party for up to 3 years. Of course, this is not our goal. Our goal is to own the house free and clear.We will not have a mortgage for the home, but as we live here in the states, we do not want to have any legal problems when we arrive.The contract reads that neither party can apply for damages if the contract is not fulfilled; however the owner has done no repairs and is in fact disregarding the contract. A flagrant disregard of the law. Our assumption that he in fact has done work that has been registered with the comune but either not done or closed. It is the comune that is insisting on the habitability certificate. However, we do not want to purchase it without this as we fear there may be future problems.
