Thanks for sharing these places. This 10k-50k price range is what I'd be looking for, so this video has been really helpful. Looking forward to following your whole house-hunting progress - stay happy and enjoy it all!
Thanks for the video Tegan! Lots of food for thought there and so many ideas that come to my mind as you shared each property. Having someone with local knowledge on renovation costs certainly is a big consideration and I have been fortunate to team up with the Salento with Love team for my project. Cheers!
Thanks M. It's so true. Having someone with the connections to the best trades people is hugely valuable. So glad you have Salento with Love helping you. Can't wait to see your casa come to life.
Thanks for the video. I had no idea what was possible but now I do and if I had to choose I'd go for the 25k house. To be honest though, I was impressed by all of them. It's got me thinking maybe I could afford a house in Italy after all.
Hi Maree, I'm so pleased this has given you the inspiration to consider buying a house in Italy. If you have any specific questions please don't hesitate to ask. I hope to see you in Italy some day.
Thank you for watching my channel. I'm so glad you appreciate the detail. My next video is due out this week. Apologies for the delay. Hope you like this next one as much. It's a long one but hopefully worth it.
Best thing to do is to contact Davide Mengoli from Salento with Love and he can guide you through the best properties for your unique situation. Be sure to let him know where you saw the property.
Congratulations! That's so exciting. We might end up being neighbours :) Don't worry about it still being listed. They are often slow to be removed even after the sale has gone through.
I like that one too! I love the 25k one for value for that price point but the 49k house has so much character and the architecture is stunning. I wonder if there are any fresco's hidden in its walls?
Hi E-Biker, as I go through the purchasing process I will share all the different costs. Probably in a specific video just on that topic so keep an eye out for that one. Thanks for watching.
Novara is a beautiful area being so close to Milan and the borders. I would recommend finding a property finder in that area. I've just done a video with tips on finding a property finder. You may find it helpful. You can watch it here th-cam.com/video/4AKatRksrIU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching. I love that one too. Unfortunately, it has just this week been taken off the market but if you contact Davide Mengolie from Salento with Love, he will be able to tell you what's currently available. Be sure to tell him I sent you (not because I receive a kick back - I don't! - but because he has become a dear friend and he will know where to look to see the property you like). Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
HI T. I'm about 2 years into my research for a home purchase. Since you haven't answered my inquiry, then I kindly suggest you take a moment to do some research into the 7% flat tax zones/cities in italy. The salento has quite a few. There is a FB group that can point you in the right direction. Also FB has some great expat groups that can offer direction. Please please research the tax zones and give us an update as I'm following along hoping to see your dream come to life!
Hi there, thanks for watching my video. I didn't respond to you straight away because I am currently in Australia and hence was asleep when you commented. I haven't looked into the 7% retiree tax incentive as I'm 52 and hence a wee way off retiring yet but I just googled it and it looks interesting as long as you are from a country that has an administrative cooperation agreement with Italy. Thank you for bringing it to our attention though for those who are following and are retirees it definitely is something to look into.
What happens to your mail while your are gone? Do you have a forwarding service? I'm worried that I might miss something of time sensitivity from the government.
Hi Antonio, thanks for watching. We have Salento with Love manage all the bills for us so nothing gets missed. Plus a lot of them are online so we can check on them from anywhere.
When you buy a house in Italy (if it's done properly) it's not hidden from the government in any way. Plus you have to put your utilities etc into your own name and address so there's nothing to be hidden or dodged.
It is possible to buy land cheaply in Italy however it is more difficult to get approval to build a new building on land in Italy. It is much easier to build if there is already some sort of a building on the land already. Even if it's just a pile of rubble.
@@BuyingahouseinItaly Sounds about right..I checked Spain also and it's similar.But depending on the region, it can take 6 months up to 7 years to get a licensed to build in Spain.Probably best to renovate a ruins or something. I wish the government would give people incentives to repopulate the countryside which is depopulated, instead of making it hard.
I agree. The government doesn't always make it easy. But they have provided a LOT of incentives over the past few years towards renovation and it has created a boom in the industry which has helped the economy. Things like increasing the energy rating of a house (windows, floors, electrics, solar) as well as incentives for replacing or upgrading your roof. And so many more. There are people I know who have had 90% of their renovation costs covered by incentives. Not as many of them still available but you never know what they will come up with next.
There are different property taxes in Italy depending on location, property type, condition, and usage. There are also different VAT depending if you buy from a private party (I don't recommend this) or a registered company. If it is your primary residence or secondary residence will effect what tax you pay. And there's capital gains tax but none after you've owned it for five years. You are best to discuss these with a registered (Italian) accountant or property professional. I'll be doing a video on the different fees in the future so keep an eye out for that one too and thanks for watching my channel.

There are so many properties in that price range for you to choose from so I think that's a great choice. More videos coming up soon.

hard work. my back hurts just watching.
Thank you for the detailed and vital information. You are definitely getting me excited about Italy.
Thank you for watching my channel. I'm so glad you appreciate the detail. My next video is due out this week. Apologies for the delay. Hope you like this next one as much. It's a long one but hopefully worth it.
@@BuyingahouseinItaly Just happy that you're doing these videos. All the best.
What a great youtube channel! Thank you for all your work.
Thanks for your positive feedback Daniel. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel.
Love the last one, I don't understand Ron wicht city it is.
Yes I’m very interested in the last house

Thank you for all the informations you sharing with us
I appreciate your thanks. More videos coming soon.
We placed an offer on one of those properties 3 weeks ago through Davide, surprised to see it viewed here.
Congratulations! That's so exciting. We might end up being neighbours :) Don't worry about it still being listed. They are often slow to be removed even after the sale has gone through.
@@BuyingahouseinItaly and we are Aussies too
@@italianna6541 hello fellow Aussies. Welcome to my channel and thanks for watching.
The 49k one 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I like that one too! I love the 25k one for value for that price point but the 49k house has so much character and the architecture is stunning. I wonder if there are any fresco's hidden in its walls?
I’m sure the food is really great around that area
Your kady video. Which door do you enter on the street level
What about property taxes? Once you own the house there is surely a tax to pay each year? Great content 👍👍
Hi E-Biker, as I go through the purchasing process I will share all the different costs. Probably in a specific video just on that topic so keep an eye out for that one. Thanks for watching.
How much did you spend to purchase your property including taxes & fees. ?
Wow I need a property in Novara Region in range of 8 K to 10 K budget.

Hi.
As a family we are searching at 10k euro house close to city and relaxation.
Can you help?
Thank you!
I love the last property! Is it still for sale?

Are you looking into the 7% tax zones or just puglia/salento in general

@bina nocht They will not sebd post abroad. Only to tge Italian house.
I'm looking for a cheap piece of land that I can build a small home in Italy. It it possible to buy cheap land?
