Hi Richard, I'm living in Portugal and doing up an old farmhouse. I'm insecure about taking the first step and starting a KZread channel too, although I would love to... so I really appreciate your honesty about how it feels to jump into the deep end 😄. I love the rambling because it lends authenticity and character to the footage and yourself. It's great to be able to relate to the speaker as a friend and not merely as a narrator. I will be following! Good luck!

Ok after having lived near Naples, Emilia Romagna and the Veneto, I think you've made a good practical choice in location and the property... not too steep or the house too complicated or neighbors too near (not that neighbors don't come in handy for lots of free advice and sometimes help) and you have quite a pleasant view. 🙂 Now what you need to do is a walk through of the house, because we remodel addicts like to see what you've started with, ideas about what you eventually want to do and watch your progress.... that's how these things work. I do love the drone shots, because we can see the lay of the land, makes it easier to visualize and fantasize about your little spot on planet earth. Oh and remember that a good wood stove is your very best friend, let me pass on THIS guy who I found too late in my case, but makes so much efficient sense, he makes Stubbe type heating stoves: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqWe0tqQaNbbk8o.html (Emilia Romagna), Btw use a Geometra NOT an architect, he will draw up the plans and deal with the legalities that will make the Comune happy, worth the money and much cheaper than those architect thieves. 😉 Subscribed, Cheers!

@@threeacresofmarche etc: Last house I put in a pellet stove, 1 sack a day and you could come and go all day and it would still be warming everything as opposed to wood which goes out and then you come home to a cold house if you don't keep stuffing it, also duel combustion wood stoves are expensive in Italy and you have to go up north to even find them. Downside, every year the price goes up on pellets! But I heard you could also use dry corn and as he mentioned, other types of fuel that may be cheaper or perhaps invest in a chipper if you have a lot of scrub and trimmings on your own land. Hope I'm not intruding, just passing on things that I've learned over the years the hard way. 🙃 All the best on this new adventure! 🙂

There is a quick tour of the house on my next video and hope to cover why I chose Italy through future videos. I will cover costs and the challenges as I go for sure. There is so much to cover! I hope I can help inspire some to turn the fantasy to reality, regardless which country you end up choosing. Thanks for watching and saying hello from Canada! PS - The 90 day rule is per 180 days. The 180 day window is rolling so I have to keep track of when I go and when I leave etc. In theory you can spend a lot of time there but with the border checks you need to keep track. I had well over 100 days in Italy last year with no problems. To note - this is for me as a Brit - I do not know what visa restrictions you would have from Canada sorry.

Ciao Richard, first of all, you’re are doing great job, and thanks for sharing. We are in search of something similar. We live in UK too :) may I ask you if you’ve used an estate agency for your search, or a website. Could you please share it. MAny Thanks

Subscribed! I am an Italian living in London but love these videos. Also I am from the Alps but I do agree that Marche is the best region in Italy, it has a bit if everything ! Plus my grandfather is from Senigallia so I am bit biased ahah ciao Richard!

First I have seen of Marche ! I follow a chap (not useless yet) renovating in Italy, a couple in Piedmonte and several channels selling property in molise / abruzzo where I had been expecting to start our property hunt for a holiday bolthole. Interested to hear why Marche ? Looks lovely - love the intro

Hi @traceyjohnson-brown4474 I nearly bought in Abruzzo. I love it there. Only thing for me personally was where I likes was very hilly and I do like to go out cycling. Otherwise, it was a really close contender. South Marche is similar. To be honest, there are so many stunning places to choose from I don't think you can go wrong. Thank you for watching and saying hello.

@@threeacresofmarche is their good skiing accessible from Marche ? I thought Abruzzo would get good use with both summer and winter holiday attractions for my family (all love to ski) but the countryside around your place looks wonderful for an old bird like me who doesn’t appreciate v steep hills / too many steps from your parking to your townhouse :( Also does the 90 day thing with 3 acres concern you ? Will you find someone to brushcut regularly or will you expect to work a lot on the land in every visit ? Sorry so many questions as I had mentally ruled out countryside with land until I saw your place ! I love to potter in the garden but am slightly intimidated by 3 acres to manage !

@@tracey4474 There is good skiing but I have not tried it yet. It may not be the 'go for a week' type of place like the Alps and Dolomites but it is supposed to be great. I don't think I can get up there this year for skiing but will go next year and be sure to pop a 5 minute of lifestyle in between the renovation project. 😎

Great intro - look forward to more. Watched the other one. Stunning countryside. Been to Italy a bunch not this region though. How did you find the house? From real-estate sites or in person?

Hi, thanks for saying hello. I found it with an agent but the house was not on the market. It took time to find a good agent who knew what I was looking for and then the house popped up for sale. I will cover this in future videos as the search process can be tricky. With the right agent there is a way through.

Good olde KZread algorithm introduced your channel to me Richard. This is the 2nd video of yours I’ve just viewed and I must say I like your presenting / editing style...sincere, personal, information and well put together. I watch other similar channels to yours, of folks who have relocated (full / part time) out of wet, broken, overpopulated, rip off U.K. to less populated per area, warmer dense counties in Europe. I’m 51 years old, self employed with trade skills and I’m looking to do something similar. Interested to know what line of business you’re in? You mention in another video you work from home in Italy sometimes? Can’t you gain Italian residency now you’ve bought property? This 90/180 days rule is probably the worse negotiation I’ve ever come across in my entire life!! Regardless of one’s views on Brexit. Cheers, Jonathan

Hi @j..w443 . I am 50 so similar timing. I work for a software company and have been on a work from home contract for decades. You can gain residency with or without a property. You need an address and stability etc. The 90 day rule is ok for now as I am back and forth so much. I will look at the digital nomad visa as I am not sure about the tax implications on the residency part while I am working for a UK company. Time will tell and I will share what I learn as I go.

Richard, you're a natural on the YT platform. Are those sunflowers grown for sunflower oil?

Do you eventually plan to apply to live there on a more permanent basis? Do you work from home? Subscribed.

Hey Richard, just stumbled on your channel here in California. Like you, I love Italy and have heard alot about Le Marche . Can you talk to us about the house/ property buying process there as a foreigner , what it involves and any helpful hints that you wish you had known . Are there a lot of properties with land available ? Were there provisions in the purchase that you had to bring the house up to code within a certain time frame etc ? Are you allowed to farm/ carry on agriculture there ? How easy is it for one to navigate etc process without being fluent in Italian ? Does the area qualify for the 7% Tax incentive if one were to move there as a foreigner / retire ? I know many homes too were damaged in the earthquake a few years back. Does yours qualify for any grants from the state ? Look forward to following your journey.

Hi @andrewveitch8515 - all great questions and quite a few are asking the very same. I will cover this once I catch up on a few of these early days videos. But, and to give you a positive until then, I think it is very easy once you figure out what and where you are looking. The agents are very helpful when they know you are serious. I will explain a lot more when I get the chance. Thanks for watching and saying hello.
