There was once a very important and self indulgent potato who had three daughters. One day his eldest daughter said that she had fallen in love with a fellow potato and wished her father's consent to marry him.

As with most things in life there will be winners and losers. For example anyone buying outright at start of 1999 will have seen a currency gain in sterling terms of 38%. (start 2000 +57%).

Hello Casa Monal, Obviously depends where you are, but €25 per hour for a skilled tradesperson is maybe slightly on the high side. Its about €22 here. Not too out of line though.
Hello Kensington, Its not unusual halfway through a project to change one's architect/geometra because relationships have broken down for whatever reasons. Obviously hope that you never get into this situation, but if you do, its debatable in reality that you will be able to make a succesful claim. I sued a professional body in the UK over a property related matter and the case took eleven years (I kid you not) before it was settled in my favour. Italy has one of the longest judicial sytems in terms of length of time its takes to reach a final decision. (On average, nearly four years but many disputes go on for a lot longer). I would say, you must go in with your eyes open. I don't think that you can count on any professional body making good your losses. Weigh up the risks and rewards before committing fully. Good luck.
I don't want to sound too negative but I'm not sure that your prospective market is big enough. There are only around 35,000 brits living in Italy for most of the year out of a country population of over 60 million. Compare that to Spain, for example, where the number is around 750,000.
Same here. Have reported to Valentina. Best to clear your cookies if you have opened the site.
I'm not sure if height varies from region to region but in our comune it is indeed 1metre for new builds. Think, however, that where there is an existing higher wall in a poor state of repair it is possible to rebuild to the original height.
Very magnanimous comments numerouno. I was a season ticket holder at the bridge for many years. (East middle). Watch all the games live on Sky here now. Would also like to wish Fulham well tonight. Game is being shown on Italia 1 tonight.
Penny and Ram are correct. The "rules" are actually there to protect you as the buyer on the basis that you must fully understand the transaction that you are entering into. €200 for translation services is fantastic value. We paid €1800 nearly ten years ago.
I actually think that the estimate at €7,500 now looks good. You have 84m2....€90 per m2. Good luck. Hope they do a good job for you.
You must have a fairly big wall Cilla. I was a bit shocked by the range of your quotes. If its any help a stone garden wall built around an iron sub frame (which I take is what is going to provide the reinforcing) to about 15 inches thick, costs at the top end €150 per m2 here. Thats including all labour costs etc. We've had lots of walls built here in the past and I should imagine that prices in Calabria should be lower. Good luck.
What kind of wall is it Cilla? Is it an outside garden wall or part of your house?
