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

maybe but once restored, that castle could be promoted as a tourist attraction, restaurant or even hotel. some money could be made out of it. but yeah, the cost for reparations would be huge. but even so, would it really be any different if some businessman started a construction project from scratch instead. the cost would be almost the same.

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

You're obligated to restore it too, for cultural and historical reasons. You can't just buy the castle for the land and raze the existing castle to the ground, or sit on it and do nothing.

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.

The buildings have to be remodeled up to the Govt. standsrds and approval. Building permits, labor must be done locally, taxes, ownership can't be transferred within 10-15 years, no destruction of any kind per title, etc.

There only free or have such reduced prices because renovations are mandatory with the sale and they are generally required to be restored rather then remodelled

The first one looks like Fort Boyard 🤣

You can find many similar castles in France for little many or for free even. I lived for short time in 70 room castle that was bought for 1e from old Parisian lady that couldn't afford to renovate it and no one would buy it except to destroy it and build something else, so one small NGO bought it and started renovation slowly room by room. They would even let you live there if you fix your room.

"ferb i know what we're gonna do today"

Some of those look straight out of Assasins Creed: brotherhood

The Italian examples are quite common at the moment but the catch is that they are sold for that price on the condition that the buyer renovates them to a quite specific standard in a certain amount of time. I don't know about castles but for the €1 houses you put down a large deposit and you lose it if you don't satisfactorily renovate the house within a year. The renovations can cost thousands of euros, sometimes more.

I would 100% by pembs castles if I had the money that would be so cool renovate a bit of it keeping some of the OG castle it would be really cool to own!

I like how exactly zero of these places were being sold for anywhere close to $1. "IT'S FREE!!! But you have to spend millions to renovate it."
