The Briton complained about additional expenses that were hidden from him.
A man named George Lang thought he had gotten the deal of the year. For just $1, he got a three-story house in Italy.
The Independent reports that the Briton purchased the property under a municipal special program, which includes houses in very poor condition.
They spoil the appearance of the city, become a haven for the homeless and attract the attention of teenagers.
When Lang came to inspect the property, he was disappointed. The house did not even have running water or electricity.
In addition, the Briton paid $550 to a real estate agent and $2,700 for the property transfer procedure.
Repairs and other expenses increased the costs to $5.5 thousand. But the buyer compared the situation with prices in London and was ultimately satisfied.
He replaced the electrical wiring, installed plumbing, laid tiles and carried out other repairs.
