Default Top tips for owning a holiday home

Hi All,

I thought it would be a good idea to post tips on owning a holiday home.

* Always switch off your gas, electric and water when you depart.
* If you switch off your electric, leave your fridge open or you will return to a fridge full of mould.
* To avoid humidity in your property, leave some form of ventilation when you depart, however do not compromise security for this.
* Always get insurance for your property.

Feel free to add any more.

Melanie

After a disastrous venture into the Spanish property market and then going through a successful purchase here in Italy, my three main pieces of advice, learnt the hard way in my case, are :

1. Get a good independant lawyer, well worth the money in the long run.

2. Buy something that`s has already been built and completed - NO off plan !

3. Find a good agent.

Yes all pretty obvious but .......

Best wishes to all when kicking off the process , no regrets about the Italian choice love it here.
