Im not an estate agent but an italian and english solicitor. If you need advice on property buying in Italy, get a lawyer. If you, or anybody are buying, stay clear of geometra's, especially contracts drawn up by them (geometra is a qualification they get at high school) - believe me, and I'm speaking as a lawyer, whenever geometra's draw up a contract there is usually work for lawyers. Estate agents are, generally speaking, better than them as they are more used to the contacts involved. Notaries are more expensive but along with a property lawyer they are the best.
