Hi Stella
The notary that we used was Giovanni De Matteis who is based in Chieti. The staff from HAI took us through the whole purchasing procedure and even took us to meet the notary, we cannot fault them on the initial support that they gave us. However, we have had to make a formal complaint to HAI about two of the agents that work for them. We now deal with Francesca who has been with us to purchase tiles and beds for our house as she acts as an interpreter for us.As I said previously, we used an accountant this year to pay the rates because we were getting frustrated trying to explain to him what we wanted but if you contact Walter Pezzi at HAI(financial advisor) he can make the calculations and payments for you and is a lot cheaper than an accountant. We are hoping to pay the rates ourselves next year.
