Hello to one and all. We bought a property in Marche in December and we are now trying to work through the various prices for renovation. Although habitable it needs a fair amount of work and we are amazed at the prices being quoted.
We are in the same situation and had extensive damage to property in 2016 earthquake which was sorted by Intasure. Have you found anyone to cover you as yet? We were considered by A-Plan, found on Internet but due to previous claim they wouldn't cover us, so may be worth a try, Tel no.01174032985. We're still looking and getting rather desperate.
Many thanks Adriatica for all the info. We're confused about the part that the builders play, when we are replacing existing windows with new double glazed ones. We assumed it was the same as the UK and that Folusci or whoever would remove old ones and just replace with the new. Thanks also to Angie and Fillide for their useful comments. Yes, we did specify the painting and the windows because we thought these particularly expensive and after all the info everyone has supplied we are now going to do the painting ourselves but sadly that is the extent of our DIY skills. We opted for internal shutters because we did not want to have curtains but I take on board what has been said about external shutters, so we may have to re-think that one.
Many thanks for all your comments. The painting does not include work on the beams,as this is being charged as extra. Sandblasting and treatment 3000e. Certainly think doing this ourselves will be the end result. The windows include interior shutters but not exterior, all in pine. We had considered aluminium on the outside, that looks like wood and wood on the inside but we were told that this was very expensive. However, thought it would save on the maintenance. We will try to negotiate with builder but feel we have possibly gone beyond this now.
