Regarding the houses in Gangi for 1 euro I have attached the technical sheets for the available properties. As you can see there were in total 28 properties, of which number 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 21 and 24 are already sold. Today 17 properties are available. All properties are located in the old part of town. In general they all need the following work (some exceptions):
-‐ New or renovated roof -‐ Facade renovation (all facades in Gangi should be in stone) -‐ New floors -‐ New windows -‐ New installations for water, sewage and electricity -‐ New kitchen/bathroom
When you sign up for a property, you will have purchasing costs to consider (same taxes and fees as for any property you would buy in Italy). They will be around 6-‐6.500 euros, This includes all taxes and fees, including help with the purchase and start-‐up. Further on, the municipality wants a deposit of 5.000 euros, that will be returned when the property is renovated (which must be done within 5 years after the purchase). For the renovation, you will need renovation permits (like always when you want to renovate a property in Italy). The cost for the permits is usually between 2-‐4000 euros. Many have expressed interest to do a large part of the renovation themselves. There are things you can do yourself, but there are also parts of the renovation that you cannot undertake yourself. The reason is that the law requires that you a registered construction firm with valid insurances, engineers etc have to take responsibility. You will need to use a registered constructor (company registered in Italy) to do all outdoor work – the roof, the facade work etc. Also for the floor changes you will need to use an authorized constructor. Again, please note that these are general, Italian rules. For the rest of the indoor work, you are free to do your own renovation. There are local builders available for the renovation. They give fixed quotes for the work. Information valid only in Sweden: You still have right to “ROT-‐avdrag” also for renovation done in houses abroad. We cannot guarantee that they will not change that rule in the future of course.

You can convert part of the living space to a terrace, but you cannot extend the current sq m. Here you find pictures from and information about Gangi in English: http://www.borghitalia.it/pg.base.php?id=6&lang=en&cod_borgo=864 Gangi is selected as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy (I Borghi più Belli d’Italia, see link above). Purchasing process You are welcome whenever you prefer to look at the town and available properties. There are B&Bs in town, and hotels/agriturismos available around town. When you have made a decision, you fill in a form that will be distributed to the municipality. When they have recieved that document, the property is locked and no one else can claim it. You will need an Italian tax number (codice fiscale), but we will help you to get that from the tax office when you are here. The notary will then prepare a purchasing contract. If you do not speak Italian, you will need to make a power of attorney to someone who does (normally us) or have an authorized translator present. We help you with all these details, will make translations for you and guide you through the process. The contract is always (by law) written by and signed at a notary office. When the contract is signed, you will have to have a “geometra” to put all documents together for the renovation permit. It will take 2-‐4 months before the permits are ready and delivered. During that time we will open up contracts for water and electricity. Furthermore to have you registered for annual property tax and garbage fee. We can also get renovation quotes for you. When the renovation permits are in place, it is time to start the renovation and create your Sicilian home. When you have completed the renovation, the municipality will re-‐fund the 5.000 euros deposit you made at time for signing the contract. Attached is a pdf with descriptions of available properties. I have also put together photos of a couple of the properties, that gives a better insight about what the general condition is like.
For a better understanding of the location of the different properties, you can use google earth and type the street addresses written in the property description.
