My route;-Dunkirk - Lille - ['skirting Namur'] - Luxembourg [Fill fuel tanks here] -----------Belgium's motorways [free] are always being 'mended', so there may be some [usually minor] delaysLuxembourg - Metz - Nancy ----------all free motorways ±·²¹²Ô³¦²âÌý- °ä´Ç±ô³¾²¹°ùÌý --- All free - some motorway/dual carriageway, then some basic roads to °ä´Ç±ô³¾²¹°ùÌýColmar - Mulhouse - into Germany   ----------all free motorway  Down the autobahn [free] towards Basle then turn off towards Lorrach and on into ³§·É¾±³Ù³ú±ð°ù±ô²¹²Ô»åÌý [this is my Basel Bypass, with no wait at the border] So far - NO CHARGES Through Switzerland [Gotthard Tunnel or Pass] - only cost is the Swiss Motorway Vignette - I buy this at the services on the German autobahn [at Bad Bellingham]  Petrol in Switzerland is usually cheaper than Italy - pop off of the motorway to fill up Then pay as yo go on the  ½ûÂþÌìÌà autostrada - and beware the 'Average Speed Cameras'  Â
Well ........................."You will either have to change the plugs or use an adaptor. ...........found the answer in purchasing a few of the multi outlet strips and then only one plug per three or four appliances need to be changed."Remember - if you use a multi point adaptor [with a changed plug] you shouldn't exceed 3KW load on the adaptor [assuming a 13 amp fuse].Â

There are lawyers in the UK that deal with ½ûÂþÌìÌà Law - do a 'Google'
Whoever you use, make sure they are local to the area, so they know how the Comune works. Using an 'outsider' is a recipe for disaster I'd recommend using a Geometra
If you're talking about the ban on 'high power' appliances - good idea, bring it on.  [Already applied to Vacuum Cleaners]
I agree - if its a relatively 'simple' purchase you don't need a lawyer - but you probably do need someone at the Notary meeting who can translate what is said. The Notary looks after your interests as well as the seller'sWhen I bought my place, I took the advice of ½ûÂþÌìÌà friends and didn't use a lawyer - all went well Good Luck
