Can anyone give me a ball park figure for installing a 4 x 8 metre salt water pool please. Moving to Liguria in November and would love a pool but we don't know if we can afford it as we haven't a clue of costs.

We have just agreed on the purchase of a house, but we did not go through an estate agency. Does anyone have any experience of the buying process please? The vendors are being very helpful as they have sold and bought in Italy before.

Hi has anybody out there had any dealings with 'March Homes Direct'? If so, what are your thoughts on them?

I've just been looking at some property for sale on line and I have found the same property on sale with 3 different estate agencies, one asking €395,000, another €345,000 and third €299,000! That's one heck of a difference! Is this common?

Does anyone out there live in the area between Comano, Fivizzano, Bagnone and Licciana Nardi? It's one of the areas we hope to look at. The property seems to be reasonably priced and the scenery looks beautiful.

Have had lots of people advising us to rent before buying, which is a gsensible idea but we had thought of buying a camper van so that we have the freedom to travel around to look at properties and save on rent. Any thoughts?

Thank you
Thank you.
Last year we paid our TV lincence at the post office ( without being asked to I might add) Apparently we should have received some sort of payment booklet and a licence number. We have received neither! All this went out of my mind over the year until I now realise that we should have renewed at the end of January, but I have no idea how to go about it now Any ideas pkleas???
I have just been loaned this book but havent started it yet. After all these comments, I am really looking forward to reading it.
Thank you for your detailed explanation. We did gather that the situation was going to be quite complicated, so we have now enlisted the help of a cross border tax advisor. Thanks
We live here permanently. Sold up in the Uk and retired here, so we're around most of the time.
Looks like you've got quite a job on your hands there! Makes me glad that we bought our house (barn) already renovated:-) We live between Sesta Godano and Brugnato, so might pop up sometime and take a peek at Godzillavilla.
Ram, have sent you a PM but its not showing up in my 'sent' box. Please let me know if you have not received it and I will send again.
Thank you RAM so much.
Thanks for all your comments. We don't want to use concrete. It is a large area and will look pretty awful done in concrete. Thanks in particular to mbc. Its good to get an opinion from the horses mouth as it were. I think we'll probably try to knock hime down by a couple of k but are happy to use him as we've seen the quality of his work.
