Buying in Padenghe sul Garda
Lakeside property is governed by landscape protection, so extensions, new pools and boathouses need special approval. Check also for damp in basements and the condition of retaining walls on sloping plots.
In a residential complex, read the condominium rules and running costs. A geometra should confirm with the comune that the villa or apartment, including any terraces and outbuildings, matches its registered plans and planning permits.
