Italy is home to beautiful lakes and stunning vineyards, all located just a couple of hours from the UK.
It is also home to the €1 home scheme, popular in Sicily. Through this, buyers can purchase a doer-upper for just €1, or around 87p.
It was introduced to attract expats and give them the opportunity to fix up one of many deserted properties.
Those who take part in the scheme must follow some rules.
For example, the property must be renovated within a specific time period and the home can only be used for residential or tourism purposes.

Experts at Your Overseas Home added: "It’s in Sicily, a part of Italy already known for its affordable property, where municipalities and local agents have really got on board with the scheme and now around 20 towns, tucked away in the island’s rustic interior, are signed up.
"They include Mussomeli, Salemi, Sambuca, San Cataldo, Leonforte and Troina."
