Author Description

They say its one of the most stressful things in life, and it shouldn’t be! Buying a property is bad enough when you speak the language and understand the system. Very few people know just how tricky buying property in Italy can be. There are loads of books, mainly about people who have been through the process once or twice and want to pay for their restorations by telling others how to do it. Unfortunately, it’s no guide to being accurate. Add to this the perennially changing law in Italy, and you need a book that isnt out of date by the time you reach the cashier. That’s where Buying in Sicily fills the gap. Written by a professional, and updated free of charge for two years after you buy it, you will be able to keep abreast of the changes in the Italian property market, and have a sound grasp of the system. Ramsay Gilderdale is the only licenced English real estate agent in Sicily. Since 2008 has has helped hundreds of people buy their Italian home. Buying in Sicily was first published in 2010 - and is now in its 14th edition. Constantly updated, The Italian Federation of Estate Agents lauded this book as being an essential guide for buying property in Italy.
