Can anyone help please? I purchased a small apartment in Umbria in October 2018. In 2019 I engaged the services of a local tradesman to clearout my basement which was kneedeep in rubble from the previous owner.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could have a piece of furniture (specifically a large wall-mounted plate rack) delivered from Devizes UK to my place in Umbria? Thanks

What is wrong with this community forum? It used to be so good, now it is difficult to navigate, posts from as far back as 2009 head the top of the page and there are a heap of spam-like posts that are just downright annoying! Can we go back to

Well you were spot on with the sale price, €10,000 and I offered €9500 which they accepted. But as far as closing costs - they are almost 50% more! The cadastral value of the apartment is €33,000 so the taxes are €3250 inc. Iva, €1100 for the notaio and €3660 for the agency inc iva. I chose the notaio and the agent is working very closely with him and so apparently the notaio will then divvy up the monies and disperse them accordingly. The agent gave me this information. They also asked me if they could get a geometra to do a perizia giurate to lower the value of the flat so the taxes will be lower. As I am doing this from Australia, it is the agent and notaio doing all this
Oh thanks so much for that. I was starting to think I was a bit crazy just handing all my money over in one lump sum, especially seeing as I am doing it all from Australia. Your comments have reassured me. Thanks
Sorry there was a crossover in emails. Yes I thought the whole separation of beni idea was a bad one because it might put my Australian situation tax wise in guai. Thank you for you other advice re residence. I will read your guide. Thank you very much.
Thank you. I have seen that extract but I thought it related to foreigners purchasing in Australia? Or is this talking about Australians purchasing in Italy.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. He was quite sure of his reply but said he would do some research this afternoon. I am still waiting on his reply. Otherwise he wants to pursue another option which would mean my husband, who has duel citizenship (australian and Iranian) would pursue a separation of beni and then purchase it by himself. This I think is a complicated and expensive route to take. I am at present checking with my legal representive in Australia because I don't even think that we have this legal standing of comune or separazione dei beni in relation to still married couples
Thank you so much for taking the time to find this out for me. All the various requirements for purchasing a house in Italy can be quite daunting and a little stressful. So, thanks again.
Thank you for your reply
