Since we started this business, we have noticed that Italians, for years, have snubbed houses for 1 euro. However, today we are witnessing a reversal of the trend.
Over the years, we have received thousands of emails from all over the world, from people fascinated by the idea of moving to Italy, considered one of the best countries in terms of climate, quality of life and culture. The so-called Italian style continues to be a great attraction for foreigners of all nationalities.
To buy a house for 1 euro, you must meet two main requirements:
- Completely renovate the property within a maximum of 3 years.
- Transfer your residence to the purchased house.
This process, although fascinating, is not always accessible to all foreigners. In fact, many of these homes need a total renovation and require constant management of the work. For those who do not reside in Italy, following a construction site for three years can be a significant obstacle. For this reason, often those who arrive with the idea of buying a house for 1 euro end up opting for properties that are already habitable at modest prices, without the obligation to move.

Italians rediscover small villages
In recent times, however, something is changing. More and more Italians are re-evaluating the possibility of living in a village or a small town, away from the chaos and stress of the city.
The pandemic has accelerated this phenomenon, bringing out new housing needs. Smart Working has allowed many professionals and employees to work remotely, giving them the opportunity to choose quieter contexts, where the quality of life is better and human relationships are more authentic.
Furthermore, for Italians, dealing with a renovation and managing bureaucratic procedures is much easier than for those who live abroad. This explains the growing interest in the 1 euro houses project.
We hope that this trend will continue to grow and we are always available to provide all the necessary information!
