Sound advice for purchasing property in Le Marche Italy

There are many guides for available online (I even have my own guide to buying real estate in Le Marche) to advise prospective purchasers on how to buy property in Italy and normally they only mention the legal and formal processes involved when purchasing a house or land.

Autumn in Le Marche 2009

Another very hot and mainly dry summer is now behind us and the autumn is upon us in this beautiful part of eastern Italy. Only a few weeks ago we were still sweltering in temperatures well over thirty degrees, but in the past few days the weather has turned much colder and there have been heavy thundery downpours. But this unsettled weather should quickly pass and the autumn hopefully will return to its more normal pattern of warm days and cool nights.

Le Marche Regional Produce and Olivaverde.

Le Marche produces a wonderful and diverse array of fine Extra virgin olive oils, jams, preserves and pasta. Many holiday home owners and clients who live in the UK maybe only get back to Le Marche once or twice a year and many really miss typical Marchigiani food and olive oil once they return home, as it is practically impossible to buy it outside of the region.

Summer Jamboree 2009 in Senigallia, Le Marche

The annual summer Jamboree in Senigallia is almost upon us again and this year will be my fourth consecutive visit to this wonderful week long event, which celebrates 1950’s American music and culture. This year is the 10th anniversary and as before the main events are being held in the Piazza del Duca from the 14th to 23rd August.

The Property Market in Le Marche Summer 2009

This time of year is a good time to review the property market in Le Marche over the coming summer season; bad weather, high exchange rates, credit crunch and all.

Green Energy and Restoring Properties in Le Marche

Environmental and price concerns about the use of gas and fossil fuels for heating properties have been prominent in the UK for several years now. In Italy, especially in the more rural regions there has been no real emphasis on green energy until the past year or so. But this situation is slowly starting to change, and a lot of the change is being driven by foreign property owners who are restoring old country properties and taking advantage of the new clean energy alternatives.

Olive oil and Real Estate in Le Marche in the spring.

Working and living part time in Le Marche, Italy allows me to try out wonderful local produce and also sample the wide varieties of local olive oils. In Italy each region has it's own special types of pasta, meat and fish dishes and indeed subtle differences in pasta types are found even from village to village. This also holds true for olive oils produced in the different regions of Italy and a hot peppery Sicilian oil from the south is very different from a light soft olive oil from the Toscana region.

Real Estate in Le Marche Coastal Resorts

If you are considering buying real estate for investment, holidays or retirement, the Adriatic Coast region of Le Marche is a great area to chose and two of my personal favourite resort towns are Porto san Giorgio and Senigallia.

Real Estate and Holidays in Le Marche, Italy.

Many of us have imagined what it would be like to own a holiday home or relocate to a foreign country, and in my case it was the Le Marche region in eastern Italy. Hot sunny days eating wonderful food and sampling the local wine with friends seems just a dream for most of us.

Autumn and Le Marche Property

So far this Autumn and now coming into Winter the weather all over Le Marche has been fantastic. While other parts of Italy have experienced heavy rainfall, Le Marche has escaped the seasonal downturn you associate with this time of year. Last Saturday I was sitting outside my favourite beach bar in Porto san Giorgio in a T shirt and in temperatures of 23C, only at night do the temperatures start to take a fall!!
