Seems like Italy is desperately in need of new residents as once again, the country has come up with a luractive offer where it is selling property for a mere €1, i.e Rs 87 approx. This time, the town of Laurenzana in Southern Italy has come up with the offer with no prior deposit required.
Earlier, when this kind of offer was released by the Italy government, it was asking people to deposit as much as €2000 to €5000 as security, which was to be returned to them once they are done renovating their house. However, this time, Laurenzana, set in Italy’s Basilicata region, is asking for no such deposit.
