About Our Services:

  • Our fee comes from what you would have to pay a estate agent, so it costs no more.
  • We give a far superior service to agencies that cover the whole of Italy as we permanently live and work in the region.
  • As we work as a consultancy, not as a real estate agent or broker, we are in a perfect position to give good advice and negotiate hard in your behalf.
  • We make the buying process as easy as possible as everything is explained and translated. We can help with mortgages, rental and business set up.

A Bit About Us

Piemonte Property is run by husband and wife team, Richard & Urszula Edwards. We've lived in Italy for nearly 7 years, with our 12 year old son, Alex and our white Golden Retriever called George. We have all the essential knowledge and contacts to make our service crucial.

Richard Edwards
General Director

I look after clients - by email and when they visit. I also photograph all the houses, design and update the Website. I was born in London, but my family is of British, Italian and American origin. I studied and worked in electronics, photography, marketing and IT and later moved into property consultancy.

I love to travel (but rarely get time), photography, driving, watching films, reading.. I've just recently bought a Moto Guzzi motorcycle and look forward to exploring the region on 2 wheels!

Urszula Edwards

Ula (for short) keeps up the network of local property agencies and professionals, takes clients viewing, as well as handling the mundane things like accounts. She worked for 6 years in adult education.

Loves cappuccino and figs.. Spends most of her spare time in the garden planting things. Makes Italians look slow at driving..

"I thank you very much for taking us around on Friday
and spending all that time with me.. what I appreciated the most is
that you are both very genuine and honest people.
It is very refreshing to meet people like this in this superficial world".

Jazmin - London (August 2008)

What Our Clients Say About Us:

"Buying in Italy could appear to be daunting task however this was not our experience thanks to the assistance of Piemonte Property and the kindness and patience of Richard and Urszula Edwards. Each step of our purchase was straightforward and it seemed that there was always an answer to any of our questions.

We needed a foreign mortgage... an architect... a builder... Each person that we were introduced to have been efficient and reliable. All in all we have been amazed and extremely happy with out incredibly positive experience. Had we had to "go it alone" I cannot imagine that it would have been this easy!"
C.H. Monaco, San Marino

"We have lived in Milan for 13 years and have been looking on and off for a property for the last 10, but it was only when we met Richard and Ula at Piemonte Property that we finally felt comfortable enough to take the plunge.

Other agents will keep property on their Web sites that has been long sold to entice you to their region to show you houses nothing like your brief…. Nor will all the truth come out unless specific questions are asked – we know Italian and understand the purchase process so we knew what to ask, but I pity the unsuspecting foreigner who doesn’t. We also tried other agents, some German, some Swiss and were put off by the pressure to buy and their attempts to discredit their rivals.

With Richard it doesn’t work like that. You have a question? He’ll answer it quickly and fully. You want to buy a house that he has some doubts over? He’ll tell you why and in great detail (and on investigation he’ll turn out to be right) You want clarity on cost, processes, mortgages, loans? All the info cheerfully provided by return email, nothing too much to ask and unpleasant news never hidden.

I admit it has been easier for us because we do speak the language and have our own contacts, but even with these you need someone on your side – and I thoroughly recommend Piemonte Property for their speed, honesty, humour and in-depth knowledge of the market. They’ll even help you with finalising issues post-sale, if you need it… how much more could you ask?
