Bloody superb,
By
This review is from: Buying a House in Italy: Where and How to Do it (Paperback)
If you only buy one book on the house-buying-in-Italy process, make sureit is this one. I bought this one and the one by the Sunday Times (Larner& Howell) and Mr Neale's is by far & away the superior. It has excellentsections on the various regions in Italy (to help you choose your house)plus info on Italian taxes, fees, contracts and conveyancing proceduresAND an extremely helpful English translation of the standard preliminarysale contract (compresso), plus detailed notations, so that you can makesure your compresso contains all the right clauses etc before you sign it. In my opinion, that is the best thing in the book. Very helpful sectionson DIY & building tools and methods too, including pictures of trowels etcwith the Italian words beside them (how cool is that?!). Also sectionsabout gas supplies, electricity & other useful stuff you need to knowafter you have bought your house (or, in my case, ruin). A truly fabulous,independent, godsend of a book by a very knowledgeable man indeed. Icannot recommend it highly enough.

If Only,
By "amereny" (Cortona Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buying a House in Italy: Where and How to Do it (Paperback)
We bought a house in Italy 12 years ago after a long hard search.IF ONLY we had had Gordon Neale's book with us on that first trip hunting for the perfect house. His detailed knowledge of the intricacies of house buying law in Italy is infinite and we would have fewer grey hairs if this book was available then. Apart from that it is a wonderful guide from a very sympathetic student of the history, language and humanity of the Italian nation. In concise chapters he will give you the benefit of his long study and experience of the regions, their differences and special charms. The stuff this man has learned would take the casual visitor more than a lifetime to obtain. Here is his knowledge for you to savour at the price of a paperback. This is not just a book for aspiring housebuyers, it is an invaluable asset to anyone travelling in Italy. IF ONLY, we had had this book all those years ago, but we have it now and it brings even greater pleasure to our life here in Bella Italia. Thank you Gordon Neale.

a very interesting and informative read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buying a House in Italy: Where and How to Do it (Paperback)
I have been very interested in buying property in Italy for about the past two years. I bought this book about 6 weeks ago and have not been able to put it down! It contains absolutely everything I need to know before I can actually go and buy the property I am looking for.The book gives a brief history of Italy and then goes into greater detail about the history of each area of Italy and what each area has to offer for the perspective purchaser. I particularly liked the way the book explains the procedure one must follow if making a purchase. This area of the book has been most helpful and I would highly reccommend it if anyone else is looking to buy property in Italy. I assure you that you will finish the book having no unanswered questions. This book must have been written by someone who has had several dealings in the buying and selling of property in Italy!
