Buying property in Tuscany is one of the most significant decisions you will make — and Italian property law can hide serious problems that are invisible to an untrained eye. I am the independent geometra who reads the cadastral records, checks the planning history, and tells you plainly what I found, before you commit.
Book a technical consultation How I can helpWhat is a geometra? — A geometra is a licensed Italian building surveyor and technical consultant for property, planning and construction matters. In a property purchase, the geometra is the professional who verifies that what you are buying is legally built, correctly registered, and free of hidden technical problems.
I check the cadastral records, planning permits, building conformity and energy certificate before you make an offer — so you know exactly what you are buying.
SCIA, CILA, PDC, SUAP — every Italian permit type handled in full, coordinated with the municipality on your behalf.
I coordinate the contractors and sign off each stage. You do not need to be in Italy while the work is being done.
Tuscan summers are hot. From planning consent to the first swim, I handle the technical side so you can focus on the rest.
My studio is in Fornaci di Barga, in the Media Valle del Serchio — the valley between Lucca and the Garfagnana, where Barga still keeps a strong connection with Scotland from its emigration history. I work across the Province of Lucca and throughout Tuscany.
I maintain a trusted network of professionals — geologists, structural engineers, architects, thermotechnicians and lawyers — so every aspect of your project is handled by the right person.
