This isn't really a 1 Euro house:

- Envisage a restructuring and re-evaluation project within 365 days of purchase.

- Support notarial fees for registration and volture.

- Once all permits are granted, works must start within a maximum of 2 months.

- To guarantee the faireness of the purchase by the buyer, the municipality asks to enter into a surety policy of 5 thousand euros lasting for three years that is then refunded.

So it's about the same as buying a plot of land (where you usally need to build something within a period of time). €1 for a plot of land isn't terrible either.

There used to be seaside plots for €1 in northern Sweden, with the caveat that you need to live there permanently for 5 years.

If I'm not mistaken there are still lots of 100$ plots on HemNet with the same requirements.
