from 1 July any act of sale must include a certificate of energy saving which every house in Italy will eventually need and should be displayed next to the numero civico of the property.
Following the Aquila quake, there have been new national laws - or rather a standardisation of existing laws. THese have mainly to do with foundations - the sondaggi must be deeper than previously and there are more geological tests to do. For walls little has changed, but you cant just rebuild a wall in a seismic area, the 'new' laws came in Sicily throughout the 90's which require seismic rings, reinforcement and so on. I would expect Basilicata to be the same.
IMU is calculated on the owners. SO, if you and your wife own 50% each of the property, you do the 50% of possesso thing on the calculators and pay half each, using a F24 for each of you. It does replace ICI, so no need to shell out more money. It doesnt replace TARSU (the rubbish tax) althoug it was originally planned.
Daily rates are alive and well in the south, as are hourly and piece work rates. Most professionals are used to dealing with Italian clients who know by osmosis the 'other' charges. They are not obliged to tell you how much the oneri are for the comune, nor anything outside their remit, so dont do so.
Everywhere, on the RAI in the papers the last date is 18 June. Stick to that. This link is excellent: http://www.riscotel.it/calcimu/comuni_0601/calcimu.html?comune=null. You need the new F24 semplificato - though it aint that simple.....
Things I have learnt to my cost: 1. Irony does not work in the printed form 2. sarcasm can 3. Lighthearted in print can come across as a) furious b) taking the p/(£ 4 Engage brain before writing. Rules of forums -1. the forum is dead because they are not talking about what you want to talk about. 2. everyone here is crass and stupid = they don't agree with you 3: everyone here is crass and stupid 2 = they ask questions you asked 2 years ago, and as you now know the answer the question is redundant. Welcome !!
It surprises me that people think of a devaluation of the euro against the £. With our globval market, and all the other b(£%/== foisted on us in the 90's, do people really think that the £ will remain untouched and even a bit frilly round the edges if the euor goes belly up. UK£ will suffer as much as anyone else - the euro zone is UK biggest market after all.
If youve done work on the house then you will have a new catastal value - get an updated visura which will give your new RC - use that in the IMU calculation.
A finders fee to whom? If it is an Italian agent then the agent should be cited in the act of sale with the amount paid. If its a UK 'finder' then thats a different contract. However, if they have done more than find the property they are the intermediary. Most illegal agents use 'finders fee', 'consutancy fee' to try and get round the law. Any agent in ITaly who it taking commission has to be named in the sale. If they are not a legal agent you are not bound to give them a penny.

Do nothing, zilch, niente - and congratulate yourselves!
http://www.riscotel.it/calcimu/comuni_0601/calcimu.html?comune=null Your codice ente is EL for ente locale (comune) and ER for erariale (State). If its a prima casa its just EL, if its a second home then 50% each.
