Comment on 10 Indispensable Expert Tips for Aspiring Italy Expats by Stef Smulders

Hi Jef,

Thanks for your comment. Yes a notary is necessary, but you’ll need to hire one for the rogito, the actual handover, anyway and he or she is obliged to do all checks beforehand so..

I agree with your points, and would add an 11th: employ a reliable notary public, best chosen by word-of-mouth recommendation. His/her job is to check that all the paperwork is complete and correct. If there is something illegal or mistaken in there, once you have signed the contract it becomes your problem, e.g. outstanding debts of the seller with the property offered as security, and similar. My notary saved my life savings when I was about to close such a fatally flawed deal.

Only political clairvoyants and fanatics can/will predict what happens on Sunday. Others just remain patient and when asked about the result next week will be dead right!

Ask me next week!

Oh, Bellagio and Veranna what great memories your blog has raised. Our friends who live in Lake Como but , I hasten to to add, not in one of the magnificent villas, gave a wonderful tour of their hometown.
