Hi.
I have a property in the Italian Alps, it is mortgage free and I was going wondering about the possibility of take a loan out against the house.
It's this something Italian banks look at ?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has experienced and opinions of the Italian dental service? How did it compare to the UK regarding costs? I am sure the standard works be very good.
Thanks

Hi I am just trying to get a sense of roughly how much the waste tax is in your various areas.
I think part of the calculation is on the m2 of the property, would this include all outbuildings, the catena etc?

Hi we have just been up to our local commune and collected a form to apply for residency {EU passport holders}

My wife is an EU national {eire}
As I understand it she can apply in Italy for some sort of permit to stay which gets around the 90 in 180 day issue.
Does this mean that as her spouse I can then also gain the same status.

Question about pharmacies
I am currently in Italy but managed to forget my invaluable back tablets.
Do pharmacies require a doctors prescription are can you purchase medication over the counter.

Realise I am late to the conversation.
I have a UK gas cooker which runs of a calour gas bottle outside, with yours you just connected it up to an Italian purchased gas bottle?
Thanks
OK so dental is private, any idea about the costs vs the UK. The service is effectively private in the UK with some procedures being subsidised {but not many}
I wish we had that setup. Our only option is to get it to the local tip ourselves. It's great that they take all waste but we did have to pay a local company to drive 4 lorry loads down over a couple of days.
We bought an old mill and I spent 1 year filling jumbo bulk bags with all the junk and they shifted it in 2 days.
You can just drop it on the local bin points. But at some point the local comune will come looking for the tax regardless of if you use the local tip etc.
Was this your total tax bill, or just waste{tari}.
We have a property in Italy and I pay full rate but my wife who is a resident receives a 50% discount on part of her bill.
We currently pay approx 700 eu total per year for the both of us.
We also only use it as a holiday home and have to drive the rubbish to an area about 2km away
Just travelled back from Italy on Tuesday via Monte Bianco.
First time no restrictions, checks, test, locaters any where.
Just like the old days. Let's how it stays like this.
Hi. We use a website called subito.
You can select the area you wish to search.

Hi every supermarket in our area sell pellets
Even most the small alimentare sell bags of pellets.
Given the current energy issues I think pellet stoves are a very good option. I currently have 2. 1 produces hot water that also heats radiators in the house.
The option to buy local Italian produced pellets seems a more stable option.
Am I correct in saying that UK nationals cannot drive through France unless they have a residency permit for another EU country. Ie just owning a EU home is not enough.
And if this is correct would my second route via Holland/Germany be okay?
Sorry about the grammar above, the curse of predictive texting.
