Dear all,

Thank you for your informative replies.

 I am now a bit depressed as I had hoped that the tax on resales would be less than new. Thanks also for the information on the land value thing- that was a new one to me.

Now i'm looking for something up to 150,000 euros, not 175,000 due to the taxes and wotnot. If you hear of any bargains, please let me know.

Cheers,

Liz  :-)

Does anyone know whether the same tax rates apply when buying a resale, as when buying new? New is 7% IVA plus 1% for some kind of new property tax. Would I pay this if I bought a resale property?

I have just parted company with PSI, (the in-bed-with-Ambasun firm), after three and a half years, and stated my lack of confidence in them as the reason . My propery is now a year and a half overdue, with no Licence of First Habitation in sight and, although my apartment is actually built, the rest of the development is not. PSI were happy to advise me to complete, even when there was no water supply to the property and the builder had left the site abandoned for a year!  

The individuals who work for the firm are generally nice people, but the company policy seeems to bypass YOUR interests in being properly looked after, especially when problems arise. If nothing goes wrong, you will probably be ok with them. However, I am relieved to have broken the association and I think they were pleased to wash their hands of the problems connected to my property purchase.

I am presently shopping for a new lawyer.

Good luck,

Liz
