Viewing Trips

By the time to reach this stage you should have a rough idea of how much you want to invest and have the finance organized.

Casa Travella can send you many details but nothing is like going to view and seeing the area. So let us give you some advice on how we think you should proceed:

1. Obtain a copy of our brochure ‘Il Gazzettino’ or look on our web site Always remember there will nearly always be other properties to view as well the ones you have seen once we have informed our people of your requests and you arrive in Italy.
    
2. Let us know when you are thinking of viewing so that we can check that our people in the area are able to allocate as much time as necessary for your viewing trip.
    
3. Remember Sunday is not normally a viewing day and try to avoid the week in which the 15th August falls, as it is a National holiday in Italy.
    
4. Don’t try to cram in too many appointments as it is counter productive and you will not see anything well.
    
5. Try to keep an open mind with regard to the type of property that you say you would like to see. On many occasions people have told me that they are only interested in an older property only to purchase a new one and vice versa!
    
6. If you see a property that you like leave enough time to go and have another look before you leave.
    
7. If you are buying with a partner it is better for you to both go and view. In 15 years only on one occasion has someone purchased without his or her partner seeing the property first.
    
8. Don’t assume that you will not find a property on your first trip. From our last 6 clients, 4 found a property straight away!

HAPPY HUNTING
