Thank you Barn-Elms, I am flattered that you have searched back through over a years worth of posts to find something to quote out of context.

Here is the full post, the content of which I feel is balanced and which I am happy to stand by.




QUOTE=Nielo;63292]Thank you Manopello, your post shows both sides of the divide.

Who is to blame if someone buys a house without even bothering to see it?

Agents have a duty of care but then again so do buyers. If, a few months down the line the buyers discover some (almost inevitable) nasties, they will no doubt blame the agent.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are dodgy agents out here (well everywhere) and I would never stick up for them or their sharp practises, and I know some people come unstuck even after exercising due care and diligence but it is also true that a fool and his money are easily parted.

Some agents give the whole profession a bad name and some buyers give all buyers a bad name.

If these discussions make the buyers more aware, then it should make it more difficult for agents to get away with the sorts of scams described here and everyone will be better off for it.[/quote]

I neither need nor want your charity so I will bow out now and let this thread get back on topic. Good luck Estherina34 and sorry for taking the thread off topic.

It is not a ghost town at all (although, yes - very small). Avellino is not Tuscany. True. VERY true. that's what I love about it actually :-)

"Places like Leoni, Nusco, Frigento, Castel Baronnia, Gesualdo, the three Lombardi towns and Conza are also quite insular and people there can be a little bit suspicious - it can be a bit difficult to be accepted as an "outsider" in some of the smaller places.

SERIOUSLY? I have had the exact opposite experience; I truly find the people of Avellino to be the MOST welcoming, helpful and friendly I have met anywhere in Italy - you will certainly always be an outsider in Italy no matter how long you are there or in what region, but I have found the locals to be really wonderful and we have made many dear friends.

Yes, I have been there - and I am very serious that it can be a bit difficult to be accepted as an "outsider" in some of the smaller places. However, to understand completely what I am saying, I hope everyone will read my entire post as a whole - especially the part where I say -

Esther seems to know the area well enough and may even have relatives there, but my post was not really directed towards her as I am unable to help regarding the house listing. It was just general information that hopefully gave a little historical background into how these things can come about. There are lots of these types of houses in the area - my post explains some of the reasons why they exist.

PS. Things are misunderstood on here all the time, so just in case anyone wants to know if I was serious about the cauldron, broomstick and the black cat - the answer is erm......... yes!

Thank you for the compliment Barn Elms, (I assume it was directed my way, but I may be allowing my inflated ego to boost an already high opinion of myself.) However, you are right to question the integrity of the agent telling Esther that the current designation is easily changeable. I have no idea as I have not faced this challenge - all I know is that I would employ the relevant professional to find out how feasible it was, which seems to be exactly what Esther has now decided to do.

I wish her well.

Do we bring our own 'special brew' - or can we mix something up in your cauldron?
