Armed
with a post-graduate qualification in
teaching English as a foreign language,
Paul Hudson left behind his career in
London and headed for Italy, establishing
a successful business offering, in particular,
coaching for senior managers, as well
as translation and journalism services
for local and global clients.
The original plan to stay ‘just
a year’ has become eleven, the quality
of life and the safer, family oriented
way of life being a big attraction (Paul
and his wife have a three year old going
to nursery school in Italy).
The career move into property was made
after noticing that buying agents were
becoming a popular choice with savvy, time-poor
buyers in the UK and that no equivalent
seemed to be on offer to buyers looking
for property in Italy. While there
are estate agents aplenty, and some even
speak English, the concept of an agent
acting wholly on behalf of the buyer is
an unknown concept in Italy, making The
Property Finders’ Italian operation
unique, inasmuch as the advice and services
are not just professional but also independent – we
do not take any commission from the seller
and we do not have a shop window full of
properties to palm off onto the unsuspecting.
After 11 years working principally in
Italy, Paul has been able to establish
a large network of contacts within the
property sector, build up good local knowledge
and has real insight and in-depth knowledge
about his territory.
Property hunting abroad can be a daunting
prospect. It’s not just time
consuming but also unfamiliar – the
market, the buying process, the language. The
team working with Paul has been built to
meet those needs and includes a very experienced
English-speaking architect who has run
his own studio since 1986 and is therefore
thoroughly familiar with Italian legislation.
