4.0 out of 5 stars Consise and useful guide., 6 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Buying a Home in Italy (Paperback)
Some information contained in this book is very similar to that found in its companion guide Living & Working in Italy by Nick Daws. That said, it provides sound practical advice and sources of further information that's likely to prove very useful to anyone considering the implications and logistical process of purchasing a property in Italy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Contains a wealth of information - some of it accurate., 17 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Buying a Home in Italy (Paperback)
If you are a middle-aged British eurosceptic who for some reason wants to buy a property in Italy, and have all your prejudices against the place confirmed at the same time, this is the book for you.

In passing it does manage to contain useful information and if the author permitted it to be professional edited, got someone to check his facts, the errors vary between generalisations and total inaccuracies, it could be quite a good book.

Bought this book to see what information I might learn from
it! I live in Italy already, but am curious always to
find out something more about expats purchasing
property here.
