hello, I have just reached an agreement to sell my property in Rome, but the buyer has insisted on paying using bankers cheque (Assegno Circolare) rather than transfer the funds to my foreign account in the UAE.
Hello Ugo,coming back to your clarification about opening up a foreign current account with Intesa, does it matter that i have residence in italy but will be giving it up in August when i move to the UK? Are there any tax implications here? I do not have any income and have been living in the apartment since i bought it last year.thank you for your help again.Anita
thank you so much, Ugo. i will check out the Nettuno branch and if they don't speak English, then I'll go to Rome. You have been very helpful indeed, and I will certainly contact you again if I need any further clarification regarding the matter.CordialmenteAK
Thank you again, Ugo. I am in Nettuno (RM) and not sure if we have Intesa there, but I will find out. As the transaction with the Notary is taking place in Nettuno, should there not be an Intesa bank there, would you recommend UniCredit or BNP? These two are definitely there, otherwise I will go to Rome to find an Intesa branch there.what do you recommend in the absence of an Intesa?
Hello Ugo,thank you so much for taking the time to assist me.the option of opening a foreign current account in an italian bank is probably the easier option for me. would you know if it is a good idea to open this account with Poste Italiana, BNP or UniCredit? My estate agent tells me that the buyer's bank cheque is issued by Poste Italiana, so I'm not sure if it would be an idea to open my current 'foreign' account with them too? Secondly, do you know if there are any limitations (capping) as to how much I can transfer at one go to my Account abroad?many thanks again for all your help and i look forward to hearing from you again.best wishes,AK
Hello, and thank you so much for taking the time to assist with my query. And, NO, you are not stating the obvious; definitely not as this is all very new to me. I've lived in Italy for about a year and still find it very difficult to grasp many things...! The thing is, I do not own a UK account either, so I'll either have to open a onlne account as with Llyods or an Italian bank and transfer to the UAE from there. many thanks again and so sorry for consuming your time in this way.kind regards,Anita
