@_elena @tommi @mavnn tyvm! he has tried immobiliare and idealista and directly emailing agencies but nothing's worked out so far.
he was about to close on a place a few weeks ago for 900€, then a 500€ deposit, then then they wanted to charge an extra month of rent in fees, and an agency fee, and more fees on top of that and he couldn't afford it 😢
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A lot of the best deals here go by word of mouth, so if he is moving there for a job or similar it may also be worth asking any local contacts. It's far more acceptable here to both ask for and recieve help with this type of thing from 'professional' contacts than it can be in the some parts of the UK.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Ah, yes. That is hard. Although mentioning remote work has reminded me of somebody else. @[email protected] , do you happen to know anybody in Padua who can recommend reputable estate agents? I know it's not right in your stomping grounds but I don't have many contacts "up North"
