Very special town house in via Ianelli, one of Cortona's oldest and most characteristic streets. This quaintest of quaint houses (circa 75 sqm - 807 sqf), dating back to the Middle Ages, has immense historical value and definitely has the 'wow' factor.

The property consists of the following:

Ground floor - basement storage room
First floor - kitchen-living area which leads out into a small panoramic garden area*
Second floor - bedroom and bathroom with lovely views

*The garden which stands alongside Cortona's Etruscan wall - with a wonderful panorama over the Valdichiana - was originally, as with all the houses along the wall, part of the perimetral walkway which ran its entire length. However, over the centuries and with no marauding masses from whom to save the town, the areas have now become individual gardens albeit officially on public property.

The property would benefit from some personalisation and modernisation, but it would appear to be fit for use as it is, with everything functional. It would definitely make a wonderful personal base in Cortona, but there is no doubt it would also make for an extremely valid rental investment if sufficiently modernised. Who wouldn't want to holiday in a house with so much character, history and charm?

In summary: Something innately unique. Definitely worth viewing.

SURVEYS
We do our UTMOST to do pre-marketing checks on our properties in order to ascertain their compliance status.
This does not necessarily mean they are compliant (many owners are resistant to regularising their properties until they have a firm offer), but it does mean we have a complete picture for you, know what the owner must do in order to obtain compliance and the timelines in which this can be done.
A survey of your own should confirm our findings.

CONVEYANCING
We work together with registered Italian notaries - some of whom speak excellent English - regarding the preparation and drawing up of all and any contracts.
English translations and/or an interpreter are provided.
All money deposits are held in escrow by the notary until completion.

VIEWINGS
We collaborate with international and local agencies in the area and can organise and accompany you on viewings of properties also listed by them. This is done on a split commission basis and at no extra cost to you.

DOCUMENTATION
We will supply you with all paperwork pertaining to a property when you view it.
We will also calculate all costs relative to the purchase (notary fees, purchase taxes etc...), future council taxes and overheads and, in advance of any commitment to a purchase, complete estimates for any works which might need to be undertaken.

POST-PURCHASE SERVICES
We offer, together with our professional associates, a full range of post-acquisition services: General caretaking & maintenance; organisation of projects, permissions & renovations/small building works and a rental management service for people wishing to rent out their properties.
