Has anyone bought a house/villa/apartment at Lake Como ? There are houses for $1.50 in Sicily but I don't think the 355 would be welcome there What are the pitfalls ?
Nice apartment with parking at around $1.8m Aud, interior probably needs a lick of paint no interior shots https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbslaklak220003
Those 1 euro houses have lots of conditions in place and you end up spend $100k+. You have 2-3 years to renovate the house and all the renovations need to be done by "local locals" and you're not allowed to flip the house or rent it out, they want you to commit to living there foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Sounds good to me ..... I prefer the way Italians drive .... nothing but idiots here ... and dodging taxes is an Olympic sport there
I hate boats, although a Riva would be nice to go get a newspaper This guy seems to like the place https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-ideas/theres-really-no-catch-how-this-aussie-bought-an-italian-home-for-150/news-story/1bf783e1ef61f1f08adc26c7885503a4 I might have to finally learn Italian
Moving from London to Sicily would be an improvement and Sicily is a massive ****hole surprised the Mafia hasn't paid him a visit yet There are 1 euro houses available in the north too, like 30mins from Monaco. https://www.archyworldys.com/there-are-new-1-euro-houses-in-liguria-and-they-are-beautiful/

I have given serious thought to this, but at the end of the day Italian bureaucracy and the maintenance issues of a European winter make it unviable compared to just renting a place for 6 months of the year (based on a small but nice flat, no garage, in centro storico Treviso (reg. Veneto).
