A sense of the possibilities
A first view of the settings and everyday life that might fit the client’s wishes, before a detailed property search is considered.

For wealth planners in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe. When a client shares a wish for a place in Italy, a second base or a different rhythm of life, Salento Living offers a local contact who understands the value of the relationships they already have.

A useful response to an idea your client has already raised.
There is no expectation that you initiate a move or recommend a property purchase. Keep Salento Living in mind when that interest comes from your client. A short conversation with Renato can help you understand the local possibilities before making an introduction.
If the client wishes to explore further, Renato acts as their main local point of contact, coordinating research and the relevant professionals. With the client’s agreement, you remain informed where useful and continue to advise within your own remit.
A first view of the settings and everyday life that might fit the client’s wishes, before a detailed property search is considered.
Requirements, broad acquisition budget, renovation appetite and the areas worth researching.
Residence, tax, immigration and property questions referred to the appropriately qualified advisers.
An order of work, identified responsibilities, reporting checkpoints and cost categories for further investigation.
When the client raises the idea, begin with a broad, anonymous outline. No client names or financial documents are needed for an initial discussion.
Agree the coordinator, providers, responsibilities, fees and communication arrangements before work begins.
Share progress against agreed checkpoints, flag open questions and obtain the relevant specialist input before commitments.
Coordinate the transition into property care, renovation or concierge where the client wishes to continue.
Salento Living’s intended remuneration model is through referral or collaboration arrangements with participating professionals. Those arrangements have not yet been agreed. Before any instruction, the relevant roles, remuneration and referral arrangements will be explained and their compatibility with applicable professional rules checked.
A client is considering a quieter life in Salento, with a home used throughout the year and openness to renovation. The first plan might compare an inland town, a smaller village and a coastal setting, identify essential property features and list the residence questions for the client’s advisers.
The output is a framework for investigation — not a claim of a completed purchase, an achieved tax benefit or a guaranteed budget.
Start with a short call with Renato Bortone, in English or Italian. Email us to agree a convenient time. An anonymous outline is enough for the first discussion; detailed client information is only shared through an agreed channel when appropriate.
