It sounds like they are asking you to present the 'certificato di agibilita'...............EVERY house (or so I understand), HAS to have one of these (basically it's a certification from your local comune saying that the dwelling can be 'lived' in by humans !).Again to my knowledge...........one CANNOT sell a property without one of these now...........Good LuckS

this is not the certificato di agibilità, it is the dichiarazione di agibilità sismica, which is to do with earthquakes and is something different. After the earthquake someone would have come to check out the house as you say and give it a grading. If it is declared inagibile it means you can't live in it until the damage is sorted.You need to go to the comune and tell them you need a copy of the dichiarazione with the grading for insurance purposes.

Perhaps you're both right - Garda certainly is, but the new extension should have a certificazione of agibilità/abitabilità and perhaps the insurance company want to know it wasnt built abusivamente???? ... Id plump for the dichiarazione first and see what the insurance people say.

Hi,Garda is correct, Intasure provide earthquake cover and in fact that is who we are with. Can't remember the exact cost of premiums but it isn't that expensive really, although the excess in terms of a large claim would be quite large - kind of hoping it never comes to that though ;-)
