Buying a villa overseas can be problematical. Local conveyancing laws and regulations, legal

and agency fees require explanation. Bridgewater will take the pain and strain out of sourcing and purchasing a property in Italy which can at times be an over-whelming task. Bridgewater will guide you through the whole process; from initial interest to completion. We can also rent and manage the property for you and  in some cases we will guarantee a rental income.

We only work with professional & certified architects, surveyors and estate agents in the area.

Bridgewater offers a collection of hand picked properties for sale and also we are more than happy to source particular property to match your exact requirements and budget.  Our normal fee for overseeing your property purchase is 3 %.  If you have already found the property of your dreams Bridgewater will be happy to oversee the sale process for you for a 1% fee.  Agency fees are payable at signing of the compresesso.
