Thank you so much for this informational video of Q & A, this is very helpful, and if you ever see a stone house in the area where you can work on it and you can show it to your viewers, please do so, I would love to see one, and if you decide to work on one and try to resell it, please let me know I am very interested. Anyway, thank you so much for what you are doing, you are doing and awesome job in explaining the process and putting yourself out there to help other, that is so good for people that don't know how to start or where to start, I can thank you enough for this info. ciao!!
Hi Katharine & Erik, thanks for this useful summary! I echo your point on being in Italy to manage the house. We are still in London (thank you Brexit😢) and our renovation work is continually delayed, our geometra even admitted it to our (eco bonus) tax advisor: we get pushed to the back of the queue. However the work done so far is of a really high standard and we are really pleased with it. I would love to see a similar Q&A on your guest concept…. Best wishes for the festive season!
Thank you so much, so nice to hear that you find it useful 🙏🏼 Yes Brexit…… well it keeps people occupied with different extra issues 😔 You must be more pushy to get your things through but you have already learned that. Hopefully the new year will be better. All the best for you as well 😍 Ciao Cath
Hi, need to find out the type of material used on the arched windows and with what type of material made off ??? Thanks for your time and all infor shared.
Very enlightening, thank you both. You make a great team and I would trust you as my Consiglieri. I would guess you have a fabulous lifestyle!❤ Perhaps we meet up one day..
In your introductory video, Katherine mentioned she had a big issue with a "bandit" realtor. Could you elaborate on this and/or pitfalls to be aware of?
Hi C, Sorry for the misleading - we cut that part out, but the issue was that we got fooled by a real estate agent with bad intentions, so we lost the property and then had to pay a lot extra to get it back as it had been sold to someone else because of our bid. Ciao Cath
@@livingthevillas Oh I see - sorry that happened to you. How maddening! I wonder how that kind of risk can be avoided given the fact that agents don't always have our best interest in mind - especially I imagine in cases involving foreign buyers. Not to pry, but was your bid accompanied by a deposit? If so, how come the contract wasn't binding at that point? By the way, my family and I enjoyed your videos very much and admire the houses you've renovated - so beautiful!
Cathrin, did you find it hard to get contractors in lake Como area? I’m looking to buy in the area but I’m nervous that the contractors will be hard to find.
Hi Kim 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼 It is not easy - but when that’s said it is possible with the right connections 👌 Right now we are helping two families in the area with the construction of their dream house. So let us know if you need our assistance. Ciao Cath
