Utility Connections
Posted 25-02-09 at 04:16 PM by Alan Johnson
Hi - I would appreciate some advice. My son and his wife have bought a property in Abruzzo - in the mountains. An Agency sold them the property - renovations and basic furniture were part of the package. The agency contracts to hand over the keys six months from utilities being connected. My son bought the property in September and the utilities have still not been connected. The agency keeps telling them "soon, soon, there are problems with the utilities". They were initially told that it was a Grid problem but no water has been connected (although there is already water connected in the building from the previous owners, the agency says this has to be a new supply). The agency says no renovation work can start until the utility connections have been made. The full purchase price and renovation costs have been handed over plus a substantial amount for utility connections which the agency also takes responsibility for. My son and his wife are living with family in Florence at the moment - expecting to move in to their new home in April. Are there such problems with utilities in Abruzzo that they are taking six months?

Hi Alan
Can I ask which organisation you used? Please feel free to PM me if easier. I have recently bought from a company offering a similar package for a property in AQ province and we are being told of utility delays - ours is not a water delay - it's electricity.Posted 28-02-09 at 01:16 PM by Pastaqueen
