About Us
Tuscan Secrets is based in Bracknell, Berkshire in the United Kingdom. We work with a small number of professional, accredited “immobilares” which are based in Lunigiana, a region of Northern Tuscany.
We have personal knowledge of most of the property featured on our web site; however as it is being updated on a regular basis, there may be some properties featured for which we are relying on descriptions from our Italian partners.
Properties offered are traditional cottages, houses and apartments; here we offer a wide range: many are rural , others are close to towns, some require complete renovation, whilst others require less; some properties are suited to conversion. We can provide advice to builders and developers considering such projects.
Finally, together with our Italian immobilares, we lead you through the bureaucratic process of purchasing a property in Italy. We will assist you to obtain the Code Fiscale, open a bank account and lead you through the financial implications of purchasing a home in Tuscany. As a rough guide you will need to budget between 10 and 12% of the purchase price for fees and taxes; this should cover notary fees as well as our fees. In common with all other agents selling property in Italy we charge the buyer a fee. Our average fee is 4% but this is property dependent.
