Hello Esther

We are moving over to Itay permanently at the end of August so we will rent for a few months (as soon as we find somewhere to rent!) and then take our time looking for that perfect home. We've decided to contact just local (Italian) agents in the areas of our choice, plus use one or two other English-speaking agents we have come across.

I hope you manage to find independent advice on your prospective new place in Avellino - the very best of luck on that. I certainly wouldn't take anything an agent from HousearoundItaly says as gospel.... certainly some of the "scouts/agents" working for them are better than others, but our experience has showed us to be very wary of them. One place they showed us clearly had major structural concerns (Acro props keeping it up) and yet they said that all that was needed was a "lick of paint" and it will be as good as new! Just ridiculous.

Good luck again - and do keep us posted on your progress.

Regards, Noodlepip xx
