Group orientation
The honest 90 minutes on €1 houses.
A live session for twenty people — the schemes, the costs, the paperwork in order, the court auctions, the builders, and your questions. £39 a seat when booking is open, recorded, credited in full if you go on to book Buying Support.
Ninety minutes, six parts
- 01
Where the €1 houses actually are
Which comuni are running schemes this year, which have stopped, and why the towns emptying fastest are not the ones on the lists.
- 02
What the €1 really costs
The worked sum, line by line, on a real listing — deposit, notary, survey, translation, works, contingency — and the per-m² test that tells you when to buy the finished house instead.
- 03
The sequence and the paperwork
Codice fiscale, bank, proposta, geometra, notary, residency: what happens in what order, and what each step costs.
- 04
Auctions: the actual €5,000 houses
How judicial sales work, why they are cheaper, what “quota di 1/2” means, and how a foreigner bids.
- 05
Who will fix it
Reading a town's trades register, getting three comparable quotes, agreeing payment milestones, and the tax questions to check with your adviser before paying.
- 06
Your questions
Bring your shortlist. Twenty seats so everyone gets asked “what would stop you?” about their own towns.
Booking availability
Booking is paused while we confirm the host, dates and joining details. Confirmed dates will appear here before we take payment. You can read about the Buyer's Kit in the meantime.
Why a group, and why £39
The most useful question in the room is usually someone else's.
Twenty people planning the same move ask the twenty things you had not thought to. And £39 is the price at which nobody has to decide whether they are serious yet — that decision comes after, with the numbers in front of you, and the £39 already paid towards it.
Questions
- Can I ask for individual help instead?
- Individual help is by request. Email Sam with your question; any help, scope and cost are agreed individually before a paid commitment. A request is not a consultation booking.
- What if I cannot make the date?
- Every session is recorded and the recording goes on your page within a day. Book the date you can make; watch the one you cannot.
- Do I need to have a town in mind?
- No, but it is better if you do. The questions are more useful when someone says “Zungoli, €60,000, we have two children” than when they say “Italy”.
- Will you tell me which house to buy?
- No — we will tell you which sums to do and which conditions to put in the offer. That is worth more and it is honest.
- Refunds?
- Up to 48 hours before the session, in full. After that the seat is yours and so is the recording.
