1 euro houses in Liguria

We have no verified one-euro scheme in Liguria on file yet. That is not the same as there being none: schemes are announced by each comune, in Italian, and come and go. Watch a town from its page and we will tell you the day its scheme page changes.

The house is rarely the expensive part. Read what the one-euro houses really cost before bidding on anything.

Moving to Liguria: questions people ask

Can you buy a house in Liguria for 1 euro?
We have no verified one-euro scheme in Liguria on file. That means we have not confirmed one, not that none exists — schemes open and close through each comune's own notice. The cheapest houses here usually come from court auctions and private owners in the smaller inland towns.
Is Liguria losing population?
75% of Liguria's comuni with comparable figures had fewer residents in 2025 than in 2019, and the region's comuni as a whole changed by -1.5%. The steepest declines are almost always in the smallest towns.
Does Liguria qualify for Italy's 7% tax on foreign pensions?
No. The 7% flat tax on foreign pensions applies only to comuni of up to 20,000 people in Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise, Puglia, Sardinia and Sicily. Liguria is not one of them.
Where are the cheapest houses in Liguria?
In the small inland comuni that are losing people fastest — the list on this page is a good place to start. Genuinely cheap houses come from three places: one-euro schemes, Italian court auctions, and owners selling privately, often with no agent at all.
