Piedmont Real Estate

Expert advice & exclusive homes for sale
Richard Edwards, property expert of Langhe Property real estate consultant
Richard Edwards
I'm originally from London with a good fill of Italian blood. I moved with my wife and 6-year-old son to Piedmont, 23 years ago.
We gave up the UK with its rain and wind for blue skies, fine wines, great foods and the warm, friendly nature of the Italian people. My goal is to help you achieve the same success.
The essential help you need when buying a home

Just the thought of living in Italy is exciting, and buying a home here is a great adventure. My goal is to make that purchase as smooth as possible.

I started working in local real estate in 2004. Over the years I've successfully assisted hundreds of very satisfied people, from all over the world realise a dream of owning a home in Italy.

You have a few immediate challenges when you decide to buy a home:

  • What part of the region to buy in
  • How to find the right house
  • Working with the agent
  • Understanding the process
  • Getting the best possible deal
  • 1. Consultation - let's meet!

    A consultation right at the start is a great idea, so you do everything with your eyes wide open.

    At the meeting, online or in Piedmont, after understanding your needs I will explain the buying process, the best places to buy, and what to look for, and much more!

    This meeting will fully equip you and give you confidence for the task ahead. Here's what's included:

  • Clear look into your goals
  • Were to buy and what suits your needs
  • In-depth look into the buying process
  • Explanation of the quirks of buying a home in Italy
  • "Richard held our hand and guided us through the process not leaving us to ourselves and potential griefs. We cannot recommend working with Langhe Property enough!"

    2. Viewing houses on your behalf

    You've found a house you're interested in but you need help.

    I can view houses on your behalf, no matter who the agent is. I'll provide an overall report on the house, location and the area. If you decide to go ahead I can give independent assistance so you have someone on your side and expert advice.

    I can save you time, a fortune and a lot of heartache.

    And the best part is that in most cases it costs you no more than if you want directly to agent!!

    What my clients say

    We came across Richard through his YouTube Channel. During our first introduction, we were completely blown away by his knowledge of Piedmont and the surrounding areas His professionalism was truly appreciated and helped put us at ease with our decision to select Piedmont as our Expat destination. It only got better from there.

    We were already planning on flying over for some preliminary exploration and were able to have our consultation in person. The consultation was well worth the fee and was a vital part of our decision-making process. It is tough to put a price on the piece of mind he gave us.

    Richard's knowledge, along with his established contacts, has made our buying process nearly stress-free. We are preparing to close on our new Italian Villa and Richard's participation has not waivered during the process."

    "From our very first meeting, enjoying a glass of Arneis in a shaded courtyard, they listened and quickly understood our requirements. Maps where brought out, locations discussed, along with budgets and the process of buying a home in Italy.

    Richard makes the sometimes gruelling task of property hunting into a delightful day trip around some of the most beautiful landscapes in Italy. His local knowledge of the Langhe ensured we saw as many properties, carefully researched, as we could within our limited time. (with time to sample some excellent coffee too).

    One for our main considerations when choosing an agent is excellent communication. Richard always responded quickly, however daft the question might have been with good advice and suggestions, and of course, humour!

    The services of Langhe Property extend way beyond those of any estate agent. In addition to the obvious needs of buying and selling in Italy, Richard is always happy to guide you in other areas of Italian life, and like all countries, there are some frustrations to overcome.....

    Richard & Langhe Property will offer you credible support, guidance and advice from the very first property you view, right through the entire process to owning your dream home"

    "Richard and Ula were wonderful to work with. We went into the buying process with information we collected from all sorts of YouTube channels and articles. However, when we met with Richard, he really helped guide us into what was ultimately the best direction as far as the kind of property that was a good fit for our family.
    We are very glad we followed his advice and ended up buying in the Piemonte region and have since commented several times how much we benefited from his expertise. We are extremely happy with our home and the area we landed.
    The practical side of buying, working with a notary and obtaining an architect all the way to setting up utilities and all the things that make living easy, Richard held our hand and guided us through the process not leaving us to ourselves and potential griefs. We cannot recommend working with Langhe Property enough!"

    "To anyone considering buying in Italy, we would personally recommend 'Langhe Property'. They found us the perfect house & took all the hassle out of the buying process"

    "Buying in Italy could appear to be daunting task however this was not our experience thanks to the assistance of Langhe Property and the kindness and patience. Each step of our purchase was straightforward and 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!"

    "Recently, we purchased a holiday home through Langhe Property. Their advance understanding of our requirements created a focused search; his guidance and sensitivity during the negotiation process yielded a happy and successful outcome and his attention to detail through to legal completion, and beyond, was both supportive and confidence giving.

    At all times, Langhe Property's professional approach combined with their warm and easy going nature, made them a pleasure to deal with. We have no hesitation in recommending Richard to anyone looking for a suitable home in the region."

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

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

    Other agents will keep property on their Websites 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 Langhe 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?"
