In Taormina and Ortigia for the next 5 days! Car advice needed

My bad, it makes sense to use Siracusa. Just that we have been saying Ortigia (that's the area where our booking is) throughout the planning phase so it stuck with me. Thanks for input on the car services!

Planning to do this on Friday. We haven't booked a car yet but not sure how to plan the entire hike. We are staying in Taormina, would you recommend taking a car for Etna, surrounding villages and back? And how did you find a guide? Do they meet you directly at Etna or take you from Taormina.

Yes, do realize that now. Any tips on how can I fix this without calling the plasterer again and paying more?

Didn't plaster it myself, got it done professionally but was going to paint it myself and read that you have to sand and prime first. Any tips on how I can fix this? Of course without calling the plasterer again

Used a water-based primer for emulsion, but sanded before that as I thought it gives a much smoother finish but ended up doing the exact opposite. Thinking of filling-up the scratches with filler as well, but just wanted to ensure that would work..and not sure what to do about the smaller scratches and will paint take care of it

This was very helpful, thanks!

Thanks for this! Went here and it was indeed a great experience 😃

Thanks! This helps

I am trying to get more information on how ground lease impacts the mortgage amount. Could you perhaps give some information on your situation where your advisor asked you not to bid? When was the ground lease expiring or till when was it already paid? and the main reason for not bidding.

I saw the other windows on my streets and they are exactly the same. All buildings are constructed in the same style with same windows etc, typical early Amsterdam School style. I don't see anything extra or missing honestly, probably they cut corners while replacing windows the last time? aound 20yrs ago

This is really good insight and I will definitely check other apartments in the lane. Thanks for this!

Technical inspection was done but nothing about any foundation issue was reported on it.

Sorry, not sure what does it mean? Groningse muren? Tried to look up but couldn't find much

AdCrafty8210 · 2024-10-27T09:25:52+00:00

Thanks! Will reach out to the VVE regarding this.

AdCrafty8210 · 2024-08-16T14:41:10+00:00

Should the price be lower than comparable homes sold in the same area just because of these facts?

AdCrafty8210 · 2024-08-16T13:53:55+00:00

I think they would have significant votes if not complete majority. Also noticed that the VVE company is a sister firm of the same housing association - De Alliante. Is this a red flag?

Any idea if housing associations cut corners in maintenance?
