In Italy both the buyer and seller pay the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Estate Agent Fees, which can range from 3 - 8% of the purchase priceÌýThen there are other purchase taxes/IVA etc,Ìýand Notary fees Ìý[plus lawyers if you want them - but many ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs don't use them]ÌýTotal cost - say 15% - 20% of purchase price

Gromit said;-" you can bring it back to the UK for that purpose if you have it booked in prior to entering the UK for an MOT"You could beÌýin big trouble if you tryÌýthis, asÌýyou cannot legally drive it without an MOT as the insurance requires the vehicle to be taxed and MOT'edThe number plate recognition cameras will pick you up at the port [or Eurotunnel offload area] and you will probably be 'pulled in' by Plod - so I wouldn't suggest you try it.ÌýLook atÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Ìýwhere it statesÌý"Using your vehicle when you return from abroadIf you take your vehicle abroad, it must be continuously taxed. When you return from abroad, you must have a valid tax disc to be able to drive your vehicle home or you’ll be committing an offence. There are no concessions."

Ìý- assuming you have valid insurance [and MOT if required] - all they need is the 'reference number'Ìýon the renewal notice to do it all on line [but they do need to tick the box on line to say they are the owner]Ìý
