Product Description

Review

"This USP [including a language CD] might just give it the edge over the competition" -- The Italian Magazine 20050412 'Well worth the money.' -- Italia 20051010


Product Description

It is difficult to quantify how many Brits are currently looking to buy a second home in Italy, but judging by the number of television programmes featuring people hoping to move to Italy either permanently or to buy a holiday home there, the number must be significant. Every home owner has to go through the process of searching for property and buying it; most new and existing owners will be renovating or redecorating at some point and this will involve dealing with tradesmen and/or suppliers. For this, these homebuyers will need to understand at least the basics of Italian property law, house construction, building, plumbing, electrical systems etc, and they need to know not only the words but how the systems work. Teach Yourself Buying a Home in Italy gives the explanations and vocabulary for each aspect of finding, buying, renovating and living in a house in Italy. In addition to approximately 90 labelled illustrations, the book has a CD which gives the pronunciation and practice of the necessary vocabulary. The book is published in association Homes Overseas, the UK's best-selling specialist international real estate magazine and host to over 30 annual exhibitions providing information on properties overseas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on very specialised Italian vocabulary, 19 Aug 2005
By A. L. Mason (Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was so pleased to come across this book. Finding, buying and renovating a derelict Italian farmhouse will be the major project during (at least) the next ten years of my life. My Italian at the moment is just about sufficient for holidays, so I know there is much I will need to learn to get through the process of buying a new home and then dealing with tradesmen and merchants.

I have seen more detailed descriptions of the legalities of the buying process and the pitfalls that await on that part of the road, but this book is an excellent resource for all that comes after. Its labelled diagrams of everything from septic tank systems to curtain rails will, I am sure, come in very handy for anyone setting up a home in Italy. While the usual conversational Italian classes and courses definitely have their place, I doubt if many would cover anything so esoteric as what a cable detector, a ridge beam or an electric jig saw are called in Italian. Even if your builders-Italian never makes much progress, the diagrams would probably be very useful in communicating each panic of the day.

I'm sure my copy will become very grubby and dog-eared in the next few years. Highly recommended.
