British
travellers have long had a fascination with Italy and many famous
(and not so famous) Britons treasure their Italian hideaways
- spending months each year simply revelling in the warm, hospitable
and relaxing culture of southern Europe.
If buying a home in Italy appeals to you - as a holiday, retirement
or rental home, then read on.
Our
easy guide to buying a home in Italy will get
you started and highlight the main pitfalls you should look
out for.
We
also include a run-down on Italian mortgages
and explain why you might be better off using a UK mortgage
to buy your Italian home.
The
process of buying a property in Italy is fairly simple, but
is quite different to the house-buying process in the UK - so
it pays to do a little research before you start looking for
that dream property.
