A British man who bought his first home for just ‘one euro’ in Italy says he now has hundreds of people queuing to wanting to rent it out - and is now planning on buying another one.
George Laing, 32, bought his derelict, three-storey home for 85p in Mussomeli, Italy, in December 2022, under a council scheme to encourage people to renovate abandoned homes.
Admin fees, agency costs and energy certificates took the total to 5,000 euros (£4,300) for the property.
However George – who lives between Mussomeli, Sicily, and Eastbourne, East Sussex – has so far managed to keep the renovations to his ‘shoe-string’ budget of less than £10,000.
