About Scalea Property Services

 

Scalea Property Services Ltd was set up in 2003 by David Thorpe and Tony Hackett after purchasing apartments in Calabria. They found the whole process very difficult and wanted to make things easier for other people to discover this beautiful area of Southern Italy. Our biggest challenge is that most non-Italians do not know where Calabria is and would never think of visiting, however the area has something for everyone and the prices are the lowest in Italy. Calabria Property Consultants have a network of agents in the area and can easily find the ideal property to fit any budget. Please check our website for the latest viewing trip offers and take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere during our 2-3 day trip.

Reluctantly David has decided to return to England to be closer to his family since becoming a father. Tony now has the unenviable task of continuing to move the business forward.

 

We ensure the buying process is smooth and trouble free with support for our clients from start to finish throughout the purchase and we don't forget about you once you'v'e bought a property. We have an extensive range of services, meetings and nights out to cater for those who have found their dream home in the sun. Along with our bi-monthly newsletter plenty of information is on hand to support all our clients wishes. If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter please add subsribe to newsletter in subject.

 

Our office is now open in Scalea you can find us at Hotel Continental, Viale Primo Maggio, Scalea next to the train station.

 

 

Tony Hackett

Tony Hackett; Scalea Property Services cult TV star (see Real Estate TV channel 279 on Sky) hails from Cheshire with Italian roots. His mother was from Brescia in Lombardia northern Italy and Tony spent some time there in his youth (many years ago). An avid football fan Tony claims to be Italian or English depending on how results may be going. I think you will all be able to guess which side of the fence he was on in July 06! His real passion though is Manchester United. Unfortunately living in Italy means that, although a season ticket holder at Old Trafford Tony doesn't get to go to many games these days. The sacrifices we have to make to earn a crust. In between all the football Tony actually manages to get some viewing in with clients. With an extensive knowledge of the area Tony will help you select the area that suits your requirements and find your dream home in the sun.

 

Why choose Scalea Property Services?

VARIATION OF PROPERTY: There are many other companies offering viewing trips to Calabria. However if you look a little closer you will see that they are all selling the same new build properties on the same developments (still fields!). We on the other hand have REAL PROPERTIES that you can walk into and see. We have the widest range of property available:

• New builds (already finished or nearly finished)
• Off-plan projects
• Resale properties
• Historic properties
• Renovation projects
• Land (Buildable or Agricultural)
  
  

STANDARD HONEST PRICING: To be involved in all these different types of property requires a much higher skill level and a greater knowledge of Italian property law, we are experienced in dealing with all types of property and always give good advice. We charge a minimum of €1000 or the 3% standard Italian agency fee and believe in honest up front charges which means that you pay no more than a local would pay and the prices are kept low. We do not take a property on our books if the price is not a fair price. Each seller has to demonstrate to us why their property is worth a certain amount, we always work on your behalf to keep the prices low.
