You are on the way to fulfilling your dream of owning an Italian house but you don't want to get it wrong when you start the building works. Buying a property has its complications, but it could get a whole lot harder and disappointing if the building works don't go smoothly. It is easy for this to happen, particularly when you live in another country.

Need a shining white knight? Look no further. My name is Richard Smith and I manage property restorations and building projects in the south of Le Marche, Italy. I am a qualified Chartered Surveyor, a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS), the highest property qualification available and recognised worldwide. I work with clients from many different countries, with different project sizes, different budgets and different timescales, but each one is important to me.

I offer 3 different types of project management which you can read about in more detail if you click here. Tell me what you need and we can tailor my input accordingly.

Having a good rapport with my clients is important to me, that way we pull together to get the best from your building team. You will find me personable and approachable and amenable to the occasional coffee and pastry or light lunch. It is what helps the world go round here in Le Marche.
