After my success answering Annec's question, its my turn. However, I’m not clever enough for an ‘½ûÂþÌìÌÃ’ question – so I’ll go for one with a ‘Greek’ connection insteadI’m a ‘sad’ man who likes numbers.

In Italy both the buyer and seller pay the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Estate Agent Fees, which can range from 3 - 8% of the purchase price Then there are other purchase taxes/IVA etc, and Notary fees  [plus lawyers if you want them - but many ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs don't use them] Total 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 be in big trouble if you try this, as you 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. Look at        where it states "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."

depending on the age of the camper - you may need a valid MOT to re-tax it  You should really re-tax it for the week or so until its laid up for the winter - but if you re-tax on your return to UK in November it will be backdated to the start of the month. Is there anyone who can get to your mail and do the re-tax for you?  - assuming you have valid insurance [and MOT if required] - all they need is the 'reference number' on 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]

This site has some hotels close to Milan Centrale station [I assume that's the one you mean]

.....a drying cabinet, like this one at john lewis  I'd have thought you could make a reasonable drying cabinet with a fairly strong tubular heater and a [ventilated] box.  However, a normal clothes airer [no fancy heating elements etc] in front of the fire works pretty well for us
