We have just completed the eleventh year of renting out our house for the summer. As I think I said before in previous posts, in all this time we have only had two vacant weeks.

Despite the bailouts of Greece, Ireland and Portugal the euro has been very strong of late. There is currently a growing view that if "weaker" nations are forced out of the euro zone then the euro will strengthen further. (Italy is probably the mi

I know pv has been covered extensively in the past, but I thought that it may be helpful to post the current numbers and maths that are being advertised here. (Sardinia). This is for a carport installation roofed by 3kw of pv panels.

First of all, I would like to say that other than the odd bottle of wine or meal, I have no financial interest whatsoever, in any property or estate agency business. That said, just speaking around, there does seem to be a general feeling that th

Has anyone got a really good method of cooking/recipe? Have loads in the l'orto but never seemed to be able to cook these with satisfactory results. I've only got a frying pan, so cannot deep fry.

It seems that the conventional wisdom that sterling would collapse on a hung parliament is being turned on its head.

Alan,from other questions, which I've answered, it may be 85.5 or 88.5 but can't see why and not sure.
Nice alan h. Well done. Thank you.
As a ballpark figure you are probably talking around €1,500 per m2 (I would imagine prices in Sicily to be similar to Sardinia) for what in the UK would be considered a "good" build. (ie essentially good but not top end finishing etc).
Fox, your quoted price looks very good value to me. But i'd investigate other insulation methods if I were you as other people have said on here.
Your individual circumstances could be different for some reason. (I've tried to edit my post by inserting "normally" but can't do for some reason) so for your peace of mind its probably better to check out again with ammin. especially where the conract and liablity rests. Its quite, common, for bills to be shared according to floor space. For example, someone with 100m2 will pay double compared to someone with 50m2. You seem to imply that your share of the bill is significantly higher, however, than others? Is there a reason for this?
I'm not sure there is too much you can do in practice. The contract will between the block of flats and the builder, not between you and the builder. The amministratore is the key figure here. It is his role to price up projects like this, employ builders etc. Any worries you have, you should raise with him. He is after all employed and paid by you (and the other flat owners) to look after your collective interests and can probably be voted out every year if you are unsatisfied with him as a group. Always good to be on friendly terms with your amministratore. Good ones can help you a lot.
Angie and Robert, if your concrete base is sound then its not too big a job to tile over if thats what you want to do and obviously depending on the tiles you choose expect to pay something in the region of €30m2. If you have to reconstruct or renew the base (with reinforced concrete and ties) then you are probably talking a price upwards of €70 m2.
This is my take. There are issues with site navigation but on the whole this is a cleaner and more helpful arena. If someone asks a question, generally there will be helpful replies. I don't really see what the problem with this is? Thats what I thought a "community" was about...mutual self help. If some see this as boring, maybe its because their vested interests have now been kicked into touch. I was a member of the previous site but rarely posted. Why? Because, towards the end there was little real help ever offered (but the opinions..... I did'nt really need that). A question would be asked in good faith. Sometimes it would be answered but often the thread would be hi-jacked and take twists and turns into a completely different realm. I think its not too difficult to find out where the "other site" lurks. Change a letter from a post above and you are there. Have a look. IMO, very little in the way of useful advice. And my qualifications to say this? Never once advertised on here. Been in Italy off and on since 1985. Now ten months of the year. Employ two workers directly and a second company where I am associated employs overs twenty people. And, yes, I've done La Dolce Vita in London (unsubsidised).
