I do not know how many are aware, but now if you need to renew your UK passport while living in Italy, the documentation now has to be sent to Paris.

Hi. IVA is at 4% if it is the first house in Italy and you are becoming resident within the stipulated time. 10% is on a new build where residency is not taken up, i.e. holiday home. If you do not take up the residency, then you will be charged the difference.

Tyres are important, whichever 4x4 you decide on for the winter months. We have as the 2nd car, a old Mitsubishi Pajero LWB diesel. It does have selectable 2 or 4wd in either high or low mode, plus the diff lock. So far it has managed to plough through snow drifts etc without any problems. The tyres we use are Cooper M&S, which cope very well with all the situations we have come across so far. At about £400 a set, we just leave them on all the time. Okay, they may wear out a little sooner, but it is not worth the hastle unless you are covering thousands of miles each year to keep changing the tyres.

"Opting for an ‘energy-efficient’ 10kw heating system with underloor heating is €30k + heat pump + pv panels" Underfloor heating should be in the region of 40 - 60 Euro per square metre. A 10Kw heat pump, would be too low for a 250 sq mtr house, unless you have gone to high levels of insulation. You should be looking at about a 14Kw output unit. For that size, you would need a 3Phase 400v electricity supply, for either the Ground Source unit or Air/Water type.

Hi This a sticky that Marc posted on the old forum, which hopefully will help. I do not think that things have changed very much since, or hopefully not!!!

Have just been reading this article on the above. At least it is in English, so may be more clear on the points. If you also look at some of the other articles, there is information on tree planting regs, house buying etc.

You must be being ripped off SirTK, just today bought a lovely fillet of beef at the E18 per kilo that I said before. Suggest you change your butcher.

Cannot understand why it is not working. Perhaps when Ronald or Valentina are online they can provide some answer.

Jenta. When you click on new content and then insert the subject, unless you specify for any group, then it will be public (you do not have to specify anything in that section ) Then add any tags that are related to what you are posting and then move into the text box. After that, you should just be able to post the whole thing. Hope this helps.
