Barbara McMahon lives and works in Italy. She bought and restored her own house in Umbria, having thoroughly researched every aspect of buying the property first. She has been a journalist for over 20 years and writes for a wide range of newspapers and magazines.
1 Choosing your location and your property How much do you want to spend? Do you want rental income or is the property only for you and your family? Will you go twice a year or every other weekend? Are you certain that this will only ever be a holiday home? What kind of climate do you want to live in? Do you want to have access to the sea or are you content to be inland? What size of house? Do you want to move into a house that is already habitable or to restore a ruin? Will your regular guests -- like elderly parents and teenage children -- be able to drive? Do you want to be way out in the country or near to a town or village? How much land do you want? Do you want to be in a tourist-oriented area? How important is a swimming pool?
