Prior to buying our little bit of Italy, I insisted on having a certificate of habitation fully signed and sealed. Does this have to be renewed at any point or is it only if I sell sometime in the future? S

Apologies for the nature of this subject ! Having a great time here in Le Marche, but one thing that has me stumped is what I can only imagine is some sort of 'poop' (for want of a better word). VERY regularly(maybe weekly), we can be sitting on t

Heiko, you WOULD be on the same course as 'I' was !!..............only joking, brought a titter to me!"I know Sally Easton well, I was on the same Master of Wine Course as I was,"
It sounds like they are asking you to present the 'certificato di agibilita'...............EVERY house (or so I understand), HAS to have one of these (basically it's a certification from your local comune saying that the dwelling can be 'lived' in by humans !).Again to my knowledge...........one CANNOT sell a property without one of these now...........Good LuckS
36euros for a 20ltr bottle here in Le Marche......................
Welcome........................What brings you over here?............retirement/work...............escape ?!
I ALWAYS look for your posts....................you are easily the most informed poster here, brava!!
Hi Pauline R.........My personal big issue is what does "everyone pays it unless they have................... retired" mean ?Is this OLD AGE retirement (65 and over) or early retired (60+ like me)?I read somewhere (I think it was on the rubbish tax form) that both parties in the household had to be 65 (or older ) for 'discount'.If you were less than 65years old, AND if you had an income of less than 12,000 euros, this was another 'case for non payment of the full ticket'. What defines 'an income'?......................I live mainly on savings..............is this considered income? Is a UK (taxed there) pension (and small) considered income ?VERY very difficult area.................I think a lot of it is an interpretation by the local Comune...............I went to a commercialista and he told me very clearly EXACTLY what I already knew (as above) and charged me 100euros for the privilege!!! (He said it was 'very complex' you know!!!..............................stung again !)Penny is doing a FANTASTIC job (in my view one of the best things I have followed on this Forum)........well done!!European Union eh ???!!!
I wouldn't be impressed with 2004 calendar!.........I suggest a complaint in writing!!! Lovely story ...........................this is what you get here!!!!!!!!!
Not aware of any issues re planning..................welcome I look forward to your findings!
I hear there is a VERY good one near Conad (and a Fiat services?) on road from Servigliano to Fermo? Apparently over the ristorante .....sorry can't recall the name of the ristorante (something like the Captains ship??)................Good luck S
Hi FromNowON.............When we bought our house here in Italy we had EXACTLY the same problem!!!We thought originally that it was possibly overloading the circuit (we bought thinking that we had a 6Kw feed), which might have been only the basic 3Kw.We had electricians out and Enel came out and they said no we have indeed got a 6Kw feed EVEN THOUGH the meter suggested only 3Kw....................They said that this was a mis reading !!However, to cut a longish story short(er)...................it ended up being the oven itself, as when we had the smeg engineer out, he said that two elements had fused(?) and thereby creating a short?! Asking why this would happen, he suggested that it is possible that the joints may have dried out (?)............so he replaced the two elements (100eur) and all has been perfect ever since............ voila !!Good luck with yours,S
