Hi Maybe this will help, this is the email I received regarding the homes available.
Good morning!
Thanks for your email. We are sorry for the belated answer but we have lots of requests. This is an automatic answer and we give answers to the most common questions. So please follow the instructions and we will be able to answer quickly. First of all, you need to know that we are a public institution and not a real estate company.
If you are interested in buying a house paying 1 euro, it’s important to know that these houses are not immediately habitable but they need renovation.
Here some information:
1. It is not important if you are not Italian, you can buy in any case the property;
2. You have to declare that you did not commit mafia crimes;
3. You have to fill and sign the application form
and send it to case1eurocinquefrondi@gmail.com specifying in the subject line “ACQUISTO CASE A 1 EURO”;
4. You will pay the property € 1 but you are obliged to pay all the costs concerning the renovation and the necessary legal documents. The restructuring works have to start within three months after the release of the construction permission and they have to be completed within three years;
5. You have to stipulate an insurance policy in favour of Comune of Cinquefrondi. It costs about € 100 and the maximum coverage is € 20.000;
6. The houses assignment will follow the chronological registration order. You can have a look at the pictures on our website:
We continually update it, so keep looking because you can always find new houses!
Unfortunately, we aren’t able to give you information about residency permit or documents for foreigners. You must refer to Italian laws and discuss with the embassy or to a responsible person.
If you are a tourist and you want to spend holiday in Cinquefrondi, you will find a B&B where you can have a wonderful stay. The town rises at the base of Aspromonte hills, it’s crossed by a torrent and you can get to the two coasts in about 15 minutes. You can spend the day at the beach, on the mountains or visit the beautiful town. If you want more information, write to turistacinquefrondi@gmail.com specifying in the subject line “TURISTA A CINQUEFRONDI”.
If you are interested in buying a property where you can already live, send to acquistocasecinquefrondi@gmail.com an email specifying in the subject line “ACQUISTO CASA” and we will give you all the information.
Thank you for your interest!
We can’t wait to see you in Cinquefrondi!
