This should maybe have been under a different topic - I've never posted before but have lurked for many years now.
My mum retired to Sardinia, Italy a few years back, investing all her money in a big house there. All seemed well but she couldn't learn the language - I thought that was because most of her friends were expats but it turns out to have been the first symptom of neurological illness. In short, she has had to come home and I have to somehow sell her house (she is living with me at the moment, and I've already moved her stuff). I'm absolutely stumped: I talked to three agents there but they don't seem to be doing anything - I've been doing so for months now but they don't seem to be getting anywhere. I talked to the main London based estate agents that sell Italian property here, the problem is that they would only accept properties valued at 1 million Euros or more (it's a seven bedroom house with tons of garden in a great location, but no pool - when she first moved there her neighbour tried to buy it off her offering 700,000 euros so that's a rough indication to me of what it should be worth). I'm stumped and exhausted, I have three young children and Mum is not well. Is there something I should be doing that I simply haven't thought of? I would really appreciate any advice.
