"These castles are for free"
Homeless man: "its free real estate"

The first one would legit be the best zombie apocalypse base. Buy canned food, a lot of water (or a filter) and boom. Zombies don't have brains so they can't swim.

Actually I’m from Lleida and this is completely absurd!!! The Seu Vella (which is not a castle, it’s a Catholic cathedral) is ABSOLUTELY not for sale and never has been??!! it’s literally THE monument that we have here and visited and beloved by all. Weddings are officiated here ffs

[Orionairsoft]

It's not the renovation cost. It's the property tax that is keeping buyers away

[aworldanimation]

For those wondering. Italian castles are hundreds or even a thousand years old. The italian law forbids to demolish or excessively alter hystorical locations, unless their excistance could cause arm to somebody (ex a damaged tower who could fall)
So you don't just have to adjust it, but you have to keep it as close to the original state as possible (this depends on the building and the laws)
So, unless you are that milionaire with a true passion for history, you shouldn't consider this type of purchase.
You can easily find cheaper ancient buildings or newer houses

You're telling me not one mega rich person wants to buy a castle in Italy? They didn't look too bad.

The first castle was used as a set for a children's TV show I used to watch as a kid. You've literally just unlocked a core memory I forgot I had.

Renovating an Castle sounds like an dream tbh

[Mako]

It’s not just the cost of renovating. Many old castles/buildings have heritage regulations attached & you can’t have a free rein on your vision for the place. You’ve gotta jump through hoops & red tape with local government/councils.

None of the facts in this video are remotely correct.
The first "castle" mentioned is "Pembs Castle", there is no castle by this name and the "castle" shown is Stack Rock Seafort, which has actually been sold multiple times, the price he lists is actually how much it sold for in 2005, it has since been sold again in 2022.
I know less about the other castles but there look to be comments debunking those as well.

They probably have ridiculous zoning laws set by the government which requires you to rennovate it to its original state within xx time from sale.

[cassieallen]

Idc if my castle is rundown, it’s still a castle

[zetok]

Ah yes, the government. We don't want it, but don't want to fix it either. If you do fix it, you do it our way with money we won't pay.

[timcsont]

It's not just for the restoration of the castle which will cost millions, once it is restored, the upkeep or maintenance of such a castle will cost you a fortune each year.

[benjamins]

When a castle is cheaper than the average house

[lilygreen]

"no one will pay for it even with one dollar"
That's because we use pounds. 😂

[lolli_popples]

What if we got a ton of people together and had everyone give a down payment to renovate the castle, and then we all get to live in it?

[joltseanmain]

For those who are confused about people not buying them it’s because of Tax reasons and there’s no point of buying it even for free when you have to spend money to fix it and have to pay huge amounts of Tax

[nenaj]

The government of these places need to restore these castles. They are historic

[Lukazade]

I’m sure there was some tv show that was filmed on the first one.
