Hello,My husband and I are considering buying two small properties located in a village around Lake Iseo (Begamo region). One of the flats will be used mainly as our holiday home, whereas the other one will be rented out.

Exactly what is an agents responsibility?

Thanks Ugo. We are actually considering buying two properties with a combined price of 130,000 eur (before any reduction in price). But most of the solicitors quoted fees per properties, therefore we're looking at doubled cost for the both of them. If we go by pass a solictor, how do we make sure that we know what we are signing and all the legal bases are covered? Is also the estate agents responsibility to do all the searches, for example, making sure there is no other mortages on the property? What about the translation?

Hi Steve, Thanks a lot for your recommendation.I got in touch with Cristina and she quoted me 3000EUR PLUS VAT on one property 65000EUR. Did you get yours a few years back? Her fee seems to have gone up a lot...
