WHAT'S WRONG WITH 1 EURO HOUSES IN ITALY
Welcome to Dramatically Expatic! In this video, I've decided to talk about the famous houses for 1 euro in Italy. Just google "1 euro homes Italy" and you'll see lots of information about it, however, many people think they can actually buy a house spending only 1 euro... which is not exactly true. While I'm not trying to dissuade you from joining the project, I invite you to make some research - or watch this video till the end to find out more!

ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria, and I’m a Ukrainian expat and digital nomad, currently living in Italy. I first came here without speaking the language and being totally unprepared, but pretty sure this is gonna be an adventure of a lifetime! I love discovering Italian culture, Italian people and, of course, Italian food. I'm a full-time content creator, so when I'm not making travel videos, I'm taking photos, writing and creating artworks. Studying is another passion of mine, and currently I’m finishing my Masters degree at the University of Bologna. Here I post regular travel vlogs, tips on expat life, moving abroad, personal growth and self-esteem as a woman living abroad, so hop on and welcome on board!

A bit of perspective; these comparable costs in other countries is much higher. The prices of buying these homes and renovating Them is frequently cheaper than rehabbing a kitchen in an American home. The point of these homes is to preserve historic homes and revitalize a town with a dwindling population.

@arnoldo8563 She just wants to open people's eyes to reality. I think it's a fairly accurate video. I am a real estate investor, I have looked at the opportunities and have found. If you pay just 20000 euros more than the cost of renovating a one euro house. You can get a property in a more popular area with markets and cafes with convenient public transportation. These 1 € properties are in dieing villages. They are dieing for a reason .

Okay people. You not getting a prime property for 1-30,000 Euro. As a German, I don’t look at prime properties. Most Germans who work 45-50 years are getting a small pension. Since I was a young man, the German government has been pushing people to buy property , have another small private pension plan, plus the government pension. Well. Now, pensioners must pay tax on all their income. Nice idea of the government. Now pensioners have even less and can’t afford to live in Germany. I left Germany 2005. Enough bull sxxx. Worked 14 years in Canada and moved 2020 permanently to Panama. Affordable living. - Back to the cheap Italian houses. I did ask my son in Germany wo is now 28 if he ever considered to get a property in Italy because houses are ridiculously expensive in Germany and the new property tax laws are insane. He could never afford a house in Germany. And the retirement benefits aren’t safe in Germany.
The average I’ve read several places that most people spend on a 1€ house (€20,000 to €40,000) is less than 1/10th the price of houses where I live, so for me, I’d buy it in a blink, even if it cost twice that.

I have been to first 1 euro project house when I was considering buying one. Don't recall the town name but it was on my way driving to Rome back in 2018. The houses were totally restored and nice but people looked miserable there. There was only one Cafe and it was close. The streets were OK, but the road to that town was not paved. After seeing that I gave up, couldn't see myself living there. I doubt there was internet, the mobile phone reception was limited. The place was in the middle of mountains. I asked the locals, and they told me I could buy a good house in the region for 40k-50k...no need to go to that extreme.

Why so negative about this scheme? €20,000 to €40,000 is the price of 1 car garage here is Malta... Let's be more honest and sincere about this video. The concept of buying these houses is a great opportunity for investment to help community and to keep local heritage. My friends, a Maltese couple took this scheme and they have a marvellous 2 bedroom home in the heart of Abruzzo, refurbished themselves with local Italian workers and they didn't exceed the prices you mentioned.
It would have been good to include some positives in the video too. There are plenty of people out there who are happy to cover the costs you mention and are able to proceed with the project right away.
Thanks for sharing...its appreciated 🙏

Thankfully for given your knowledge 🎉🎉🎉
Very informative thanks
Great video
It sounds like the extra costs and fees are supporting the local Italian government and bureaucracy. But even so, as mentioned by others it is still cheap compared to other parts of the world. You need to try and live there for a while before diving in and buying a property; if you already know Italy and the area you are thinking of buying, then it is not an issue. Certainly its a good idea for people from colder climates looking for a warmer place to retire.

Many thanks for making such a truthful and informative content ❤ Could you make a video about the best way to buy a property in Italy? Would you talk to a real estate agent? How would you search for a professional one? Would you talk to a lawyer? How can you contact them? What to consider when planning and arranging such an investment? Thank you in advance 🍀
My understanding is if you are thinking of Italy for the beaches then think again. The only beaches of note are in Puglia the rest are nothing to write home about. If beaches are your thing then go to Sardinia their beaches are spectacular otherwise Greece or Spain. If you like cliff tops with sunset views then it's Amalfi and Liguria.
What are the websites one can check to see list of available houses
Well done.

Dear Valeria, what town are you in in this video?
Please provide the link for digital nomads being paid to reside in Italy. Thank you.
What about residence permit pls ? No one talks about it. If we are digital nomads who want to buy this 1€ home and move to italy .what kind of residence permit they give ?
So what is the cost of an average house in Italy then? In Australia the average price is 700k.
Where is the link for the digital nomad free rent?
Renovation will cost 5-600 Euros per square meter. Double that for extensive renovations. These costs assume that there aren't major undetected problems and that you'll find a competent and honest contractor (which in some areas is next to impossible). If you need to go to an Italian court of "justice", you'll never see your money again. EVER!
Buying a house at 1 euro + 4-5k + 20-50k ~ 56k (on the higher end) is a bargain. In the US, I bought my house brand new for 299k, and it is now worth ~424k. Honesty, it is not worth that much. The way that these companies are building houses in the US for 3 months are not worth it. I rather buy a house in Italy for 1 euro + the other fees + renovation fees than buying a crapping home in the US. Can you imagine if I sell my house and then buy a house that was once worth 100k is now selling for 300k? My ex wife once had an apartment and bought it for 30k, which was great for a single college woman, and sold it for 50k. I told her to not sell it, and now she wishes she hasn't. That same apartment is now worth over 100k.

Once we got married and had a daughter, I had the opportunity to work anywhere as long as there was an internet connection. She simply denied it and said that she doesn't like Italy.

May I ask, when you find a property in Italy that you wanted to buy, how do you pay for it if you are a foreigner. What a acceptable form of payments. Is it cash only? Can I pay with my credit card or personal check to pay for notary public, delinquent taxes, etc? This is in relation to the 1 euro homes. Thanks.

When you buy something rundown and vacant for years, the last thing you need is for some tyrants telling you what to do with a timeline. Better off buying house from private party.
Thanks for sharing. I believe no water crisis in villages offer 1 euro house ?
I lived in a village beneath the Stars so i don't give a fu*k about the location but it's good to enjoy alone in vacations
It is the municipality that is selling the houses and does the administrative part. And the 5000 Eur is only a deposit that you get back after the renovation that must be within 3 years. Otherwise, if you have exact info on these administrative costs, give details.
Are there any visa requirements if a foreigner decides to buy one of these 1euro homes and needs to deal with all of the legal work? Buying a home is never that simple 🤷🏻♀️

You don't need to have a special visa to buy property there. You can just buy and use the property on a holiday visa if you want.
I think anyone who has bought a house anywhere (mostly at an auction) knows you have to pay legal and agency fees. Any good investment has a risk.
what's the downside ?
So what happens if you don't renovate it within 3 years ?

You'll lose your down payment which can be up to and over EUR10,000, depending on the work required, as a security that you will start renovation within the set time frame by the rules of the council or a property development bureau. Btw, you will get this security payment back once you've started your repair work.

Great explaination. Realy good. Its still a great idea to buy a 1 Euro house. Also when you pay more then a Euro, its still a great price. So you have a nice house when you get retierd. Why not enjoy the pension in Italy. Or when you are a Digital Nommad you have a home base. Off course for European people its very easy to move to Italy.European people has free movement for persons around the EU and Schengen Countries. For another persons, needs a little bit more papers. But you have a house. so its easier to get a visa for permament stay.

They say all the same its so beautieful there. Nice people, exelent food and the lifestyle. I dont use the car for shop grocery, i can walk. Its normal when you live in cities or town, that you are walking or the take the public transportation for shopping groocry.

Well, where I live, an hour outside of Toronto Ontario Canada, even rundown rat infested shacks sell for half a million Canadian dollars. If it has any amount of land, more than an acre, it will be over a million. House is worth nothing, the real estate is what has value, people will tear down the shack and build a new house. A farm, say 100 acres is several million with or without buildings.
Do you really have to renovate? Maybe I like it derelict, can't I opt to live there as it is? I saw one video about this initiative and one house there was totally OK, with just the toilet needed some work.
