What advice to expats in Lucca have about housing?

When we asked people living in Lucca about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Lucca, advise that it's essential to research the different neighborhoods in the city to find one that suits your lifestyle and budget. They recommend renting a place first before buying a property, to get a feel of the area and understand the local real estate market. It's also suggested to hire a local real estate agent who can help navigate the Italian property market and legal system. Expats also advise to thoroughly inspect any potential property for any structural issues, as some buildings in Lucca are quite old. They also suggest learning some basic Italian or hiring a translator, as not all landlords or real estate agents may speak English. Lastly, they recommend being patient, as the process of finding and securing a home in Lucca can take time," wrote a member who made the move to Lucca, Italy.

"Look at as many places as possible. Don't be rushed into finding a place. If your agent doesn't have what you want, go to another agent. I was fortunate to work with a very reputable agent. Some of my friends were not as lucky," explained one expat living in Lucca, Italy.
