"What are the regulations regarding change?"Talk to a local Geometra, Architect or your Comune

I think the Notaio wil sort out what is required.

"...................... I also wanted cheque book, but they will not send one to London, they say I have to come and pick it up, ..............."You have to pick them up at my bank also.ÌýIts an interesting process at mine - no need to order as the cheque book doeasn't have my name on the cheques, only my account number.ÌýWhen you go in for a new book, they get out a blank cheque book and their John Bull Kiddies Printing Set, and hand stamp my account number on each cheque.Efficient or what?

Unless you are going tp live in Italy, I would suggest that the simplest thing to do is not apply for residency, but accept that as a non-resident you cannot have the property as Prima Casa.ÌýIn other words you will have to pay the IMUÌý tax.ÌýBut not Income Tax, which you could be liable for as a residentI think all [?] other property related taxes are not affected by whether you have residency, but you will have to pay more for the [basic] electricity supplied to your property.Ìý You also cannot buy a car if not rsident. [I know people say that you should be able to, but you cannot]Italy is so bureaucratic that applying for anything [inc residency] is a time wasting nightmare.

If all else fails, you could try asking a local Gepmetra or Architect for recommendations

If you have an ½ûÂþÌìÌà Bank account - sign it and send/fax/email it to the bank with a request they pay it from your accountNo Bank? - sign it and send it to the Lawyer, ask him to pay it for youy and add the cost to his [probably already exorbitant] bill.ÌýÌýOr wait until August - pop into your Comune and ask them to help sort out a new F24 for the amount plus the fine.Ìý If you do that, ask them for Decembers F24 as well - you can then pay both at the same time.ÌýIf paying via your bank or Laywer - ask the LawyerÌýto send youÌýthe December F24, so you can pay it in August, and get it out of the way

I think the lack of responses indicates that aprt from walking and seaside - there's not a lot for teenagers to do there.Don't forget also that there will [I believe] be restrictions applied this year on the number of people lallowed to access the area

"I am going to drive to pescara from England and was just wondering how much do you think it will cost with petrol and tolls, ...."I use Via MichelinÌýas my first choice route planner.ÌýFor the journey of Calais to Pescara via Sion, it gives the following;-

• DistanceÌýÌýÌýÌý 1054 miles
• TimeÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý 18.4 hrs - 14.5hrs on motorwaysÌý [but that depends on how fast you drive]
• TollsÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Road tolls £80 + Swiss road Tax £28
• PetrolÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý £165 - but again it depends on how and what you drive

If I was doing the journey with 2 dogs and no other driver, I'd say 4 overnight stops [possibly 3, but it depends on how far you have to drive in the UK]Add to that the cost of Eurotunnel - say £250 return in peak season [half that one-way]Hotels - say £100/nightÌýHope that helps

If you are lucky [and if a chipped tooth cap qualifies].....................The NHS leaflet "Health Advice for Travellers"ÌýÌýÌýhttps://www.uclh.nhs.uk/PandV/PIL/Patient%20information%20leaflets/Health%20Advice%20for%20Travellers.pdfÌýÌýÌýstates [for Italy] that most dentists are Private, and you would need to use a"national health service hospital or a dentist who is working in an ASL-managed centre."
