Ludovica made us lose the apartment we found
So, we had found a really nice apartment in Rome, without the "help" of Ludovica from TecnoRete. However, because of the contract the property developer has with this terrible company, we had to deal with TecnoRete regardless, and this is where it all went sour.
We had paid a holding fee two weeks ago, as we were waiting for the property owner to accept our proposal, the details of which were all recorded in various documents we signed.
Ludovica then let us know last Tuesday that the next day (which was originally the day we would sign the contract, as she had already let us know that the proposal had been accepted) would not be the signing date, but that it would be moved to the day after, Thursday the 19th of October, 2023. She explained to us that we would pay the property developer in cash for the deposit, and we took out thousands of Euros from the cash machine to prepare for the signing.
However, the day of the signing, with no warning at all, she then started to let us know that everything we had been speaking about during these last two weeks were now all changing, and we would no longer pay the property developer in cash, in facts, there would be no deposit, and we had to take out some insurance, which would also mean the signing date would be pushed forward even more.
Ludovica refused to take any responsibility for misinforming us, breaking verbal agreements (which are in fact contracts), and approached the entire situation with a sense of unprofessionalism that made us eventually decide that while the property was really nice, and we were very much looking forward to moving in, even having canceled other viewings, since we were told the proposal was accepted, we would rather restart our efforts looking for a house, than pay even once cent to Ludovica and TecnoRete.
Basically, all the reviews here should tell you something.
