Changing utilities into your name, for example electricity, water, tv license, telephone, rubbish collection, council tax, utilities monthly payments, etc..

Property management
Owning a property in Puglia, or overseas in general, often means you will need to look after the property, and we understand it’s quite difficult when you live thousands of kilometers far. We are very pleased to offer a property management service and keys holding..

Property renovation
When buying a property, people usually decide to make minimal changes that can transform the layout of the house, for example a wall here, an opening there… A property for renovation means, of course, more work as adding an extension or re-building parts of the house.
We can basically help you in these cases, offering initial advice, guiding you through the planning process and so on..
Once we understand your requirements, we will help you to create a design that reflects your needs and, in collaboration with a local professional (an architect, a geometra or an engineer) we will produce all the needed to submit the planning permission to the municipality where the property is located in.
We have strong partnership with local builders and, we usually provide clients several quotes for the work needed, in order to have a clear idea about the real cost.

Swimming pool construction
We also have partnership with companies specialized in building swimming pools, and you will be able to choose the size, form, materials (liner or tiles), lightning etc. at a fair price. For example, the cost for a 2 meters deep 4×10 swimming pool (skimmer type), ready to use, including cover, lightning remotely controlled, filtering pump, steel stairs and all the needed is some 26.000 euros.

Please, note here in Puglia, and in Italy in general, there are local restriction regarding the size, form and material, even if the renovation of the property is always possible. In several cases it’s possible to apply the “piano casa” and you will be allowed to extend the house by the 20% of the existing volume, that goes up to 35% if you are planning to knock down the building and completely rebuild it. At other times, another real possibility, depending on the area, is to buy a plot of land and build a new house from scratch.
Working with these restrictions it’s possible… you will certainly be able to create your home in Puglia.
