Seeing my house in Italy for the first time
Does the house in Italy I bought online exist? It's time to fly there and find out. Fingers crossed! In this video I take you on the journey of flying all the way to Italy from Australia via Singapore and arriving in Salento, Puglia Italy.
Driving through the historic town of Galatina for the first time and seeing all the beautiful architecture I had only partially seen on Google. Then it's, drop the bags at the BnB and go find my Italian house.
Finally I get to see my Italian house that I bought online. I'm excited and nervous all at once. I can't believe I purchased a house in Italy without ever seeing it until now and I can't wait to share it with you. It's even more amazing than I expected.
Join me for the first walk through of my Italian villa in the picturesque Salento region of Italy and see the surprise room we didn't know existed. The high ceilings, the big kitchen and so much more. This one is a longer video but there was so much to share.
Discover why we have decided to call my new Italian home Casa Mengoli and then find out how you can become part of the Casa Mengoli Renovations Crew. casamengoli.com/
It's a fun idea I've come up with where you can join in with the renovations but without having to pick up a hammer or a paintbrush or get dust in your hair.
Please share in the comments below the ideas you have for Casa Mengoli. Which is your favourite room. What colour would you paint the exterior? How would you renovate the yellow room? Should we put a loft in the big grand white living room? I want to hear your ideas and if you want to become part of the Casa Mengoli Renovations Crew then click here for all the details: casamengoli.com/renovations-crew
Also, here's the link to our fantastic property finder who made it all possible for me to buy my house in Italy: Davide Mengoli from Salento with Love salentowithlove.com/
We were inspired to buy a house in Italy by watching Davide's UA-cam channel here: www.youtube.com/@salentowithlove3314

Thanks so much for watching my channel and if you have any questions about the process of buying property in Italy as a foreigner (Australian, UK, American, or New Zealander) please ask in the comments below.
I'm happy to help anyone else who has a similar dream to own a house in Italy to make that dream a reality. Life's too short not to travel and live where it makes your heart sing.
Thanks again and ciao ciao.

    Hi Tegan, Thanks so much for posting this video. My husband and I, both Aussies are currently in Italy in the piedemont region trying to buy a property at the moment.... Not to live, just a holiday home with the aim to maybe one day retire in Italy. Our notary is saying we are unable. I would love so much if you could tell me the notary you used, we have been having so many issues going back and forth trying to sort codice fiscale and the notary etc. We have found a place and want to make the offer, but have now reached where the notary is saying Aussie's can't buy. Have just been getting so much mixed information, as i imagine was maybe the case for you too! Thanking you in advance and even if i don't hear from you in time, appreciate you making this helpful content, has given us hope we can make it work! ❤

    This is such a bizzarro story - even allowing for fact of buying sight unseen, why did your property consultant based in Italy not have a geometra involved in the process as they would have identified the illegal 'mum apartment' was not part of the title and the onus is then on the OWNER to sort it out and not you as the BUYER. For anyone outside of Italy buying a property in Italy, the Geometra is the most critical person to have involved in the process.

    Hi Tigan , I watched all you videos and have bee interested in buying a property in Italy also... This video where you went to see your house is the last video that I could find and it is over a year ago,, I checked your blog and website and all the activity just ended here at this video in spite of you organizing people to help you renovate,,, I wonder what happened and hope everything is Ok with you and your plan to have a home in Italy... I thought the home you bought needed a lot of renovation and looks like it could be quite expensive and time consuming.. I also have heard that in Italy and especially southern Italy the red tape to get permission to do renovations from the city hall is difficult and they often refuse changes to protect historical features and require lots of professional surveys , engineering studies and historical evaluations all done by people with lots of credentials...followed by inspections... So what happened? Are you still proceeding with your plan?... I would love to learn from your experience...

    Are you planning to live there permanently/year round? I'd be interested to learn how you can do this--becoming an actual "resident," as from what I've researched, it is more convoluted than the purchasing of the home. You can, also, buy a "vacation" place and do "extended VISAS," but generally it will take 10 years of 6 months here/6 months there.
