Hi all,
Does anyone know an agency based in Vasto called Better Property Italy. We are in the process of buying a house with this agency and hoped some of you could recommend them. Thank you in advance,
We used the internet to research areas. Then got on the ground and drove all around the areas we liked. It really is the only way.
We are 20 minutes from the sea, but we have a lovely sea view from the house.
My agent was just a local man for that area. And yes, the house did need renovation. That was the most stressful part, but we were lucky and there were no nasty surprises involved. By using a local agent we got to know some people. That was a big help when we renovated.
So, I guess I would say to keep it all as local as possible. Boots on the ground though is really the only way, as we believed that Abruzzo was the right option for us. But when we got there it was Molise that captured our hearts. From that point it was far easier to look up property and email local agents.
We are an Irish couple with a young family. We toured the Chieti region in Abruzzo extensively in 2016-17, with a view to buy a little holiday home near the sea.
We had a cheeky offer accepted on a beautiful house in the Molise province near the end of 2017. The buying process is not for the faint of heart, but it has been so worth it. Unfortunately, due to covid-19 we were unable to visit last year, but I spent 9 glorious weeks there the previous year with the children.
My point is this: be brave, it is worth it. The buying process is frustrating.
Also, consider Molise. It is a beautiful, unspoiled region. We have been made so welcome too. The town of Termoli is wonderful, with lots of smaller villages clustered around. And best of all, there are bargains to be had.
Good luck and hopefully we will all get to enjoy bella Italia soon again.
Hi Kelly. We bought a property through this agency in 2017. Rosanna is lovely. On the whole I can recommend them, but be warned it is a loooong process. There were tears and fear and all the rest involved. We now own a beautiful old house in Molise, fully restored though, so it was worth it all. Have courage and go for it.
Hi Lisa,
We will be getting to know you well so...... we bought in Palata too!! We love the village and area. Perhaps Rosanna is back in the US or on holiday. Do you deal with the lovely Angelo? He is just the best too. Keep in touch. It's crazy that we will both be in Palata.
Hi Lisa
Glad to help. Antonio has a business partner called Rosanna who speaks excellent english. If I can help in anyway let me know. I know it's very nerve wrecking but hold your nerves and remember that it'll be worth it.
S.p

Thanks Tony114.
Thanks Alan H, for all that information. We will be spending the summer in Molise so it will be worth the journey (hopefully!).
