My wife Mary Ann and I found ourselves in your shoes too when we moved from Milan a few years ago to where we now live in central Italy in Tuscany. We obviously needed to look for a house to live in with our two children. This experience got us thinking: "If it is so difficult for ourselves who work as estate agents, what experience would it be for those who do something else for a living???" Let alone buying in a foreign country. We therefore have decided to create this book, that aims to clarify all these aspects and make it possible for you to understand what you need to know. Are you ready?
