One Euro Houses in Italy - The Best Five Places to Buy.

In this video I give you my opinion on the best five places to buy One Euro Homes in Italy.

Some people call it the one euro scheme, I call it an option. Anyone in their right mind should understand that a home for one euro has some major major attachments to it, but if it gets you to consider purchasing something more realistically priced in Italy, perhaps in a smaller town or village well I call that a win for all parties concerned. Very informative as usual.

I've never purchased a 1 euro home, and would be hesitant to do so. Although your property may have cost 1 euro, you still need to come up with expenses associated with closing, surveys, transfer of title, translator, taxes, notary, attorney...to the tune of at least several thousand dollars. That doesn't include the cost of renovations, which may exceed the cost of buying a property already renovated. If you're interested in some of these beautiful villages, check out what's selling and cost per squar meter. You may be surprised that you're getting good value for your money...without the headaches of renovation.

Giorgio, I personally like Sambuca di Sicilia but it’s a personal choice and not questioning the list you put in the video.
Apart from spending atleast 70k euros for renovating these old houses - the challenge is to find a good local builder who can do the work for you along with all the running costs and legal legwork. Another issue I saw was that even after renovating these properties the only option is to use it as an air B&B. Chances of getting the renovated house sold in future are slim.

Caltagirone is a beautiful barocco city with the best ceramic art work

If you’re gonna make a video like this you’ve gotta show where each place is on a map.

I was surprised to see a city as large as Taranto on the list. Is the air quality really bad there right now (e.g. dangerous to breathe)? Are they working to clean it up? Is poor/dangerous air quality the reason that there are 1 Euro homes available there?

I'd have to go back and look. They are the official town websitesnand for the most part, on the mainland, not in Sicily. Very difficult to maneuver. I've decided that they aren't for me anyway. Many of the offerings appear to be partial exterior walls, or otherwise collapsed buildings. The towns tend to be beautiful, as are most Italian towns.

Growing up as an asthmatic in the Rust Belt of the U.S., I've been acutely aware the decline of air pollution from steel mills and power plants, even as automotive pollution (PM 2.5, NOx) has increased, the result of urban sprawl and poor mass transit. The topic of environmental health may not merit an entire episode, but I suspect it would be a useful criterion for many of us, especially if faced with an opportunity to reduce our daily exposure to toxins.

Nice one but this video is mostly about Sicily not Italy. Looks good but not everybody wants to move to Sicily because it is harder to reach by car and they speak a different language etc. Thanks for another nice video.

Have you noticed that the information on these houses is often not translated from Italian, and even if you can figure this part out, no one answers the inquiries?

[williambrown]

Very intresting. Are you Italian ? Clearly this difficulty is well known. Please suppyy a e-mail or web adress.
Kind regards
