A province in a stunning European country is offering Brits up to \u20ac100,000 (\u00a385,330) to relocate there.<\/p>\n

While concerns about overtourism persist<\/a> in destinations such as Venice and Rome<\/a>, population figures have declined in certain Italian regions, leaving numerous abandoned and deteriorating properties.<\/p>\n

This situation gave rise to well-known initiatives like Italy’s \u20ac1 house schemes, designed to encourage renovation and revitalise communities.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, one northern Italian province, Trento, renowned for its Alpine peaks and the Dolomites<\/a>, has adopted an alternative strategy.<\/p>\n

This year, it introduced financial incentives to support renovation costs in selected municipalities<\/a> that the provincial council has designated as “at risk of abandonment.”, reports the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Residents can obtain a grant covering 40% of their renovation expenditure for properties situated within historic centres, as stated on the province’s official website.<\/p>\n

The maximum qualifying spend is limited to \u20ac200,000, making \u20ac80,000 available for claim.<\/p>\n

For dwellings located beyond the historic districts, a 35% grant applies, equating to \u20ac70,000.<\/p>\n

Purchase support is additionally offered.<\/p>\n

A maximum of \u20ac20,000 could be awarded towards acquiring the property, representing 20% of the contractual sum, excluding tax obligations.<\/p>\n

To retain the funding, recipients must utilise the building as their primary residence or for letting at a “moderate rent” for a minimum of ten years following completion of renovation work.<\/p>\n

Non-compliance may require repayment of the grant.<\/p>\n

The scheme allows for up to three uses, and buyers must not currently reside in the targeted local authority, unless they are over 45 years of age.<\/p>\n

The initiative is centred on 33 local authorities that have seen a substantial decrease in population. The complete list can be viewed here.<\/p>\n

The second round for grant applications has been delayed, with the new deadline set from 14 November 2025 to 31 December 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A province in a gorgeous European country is paying Brits half your home renovation costsSam Dimmer East Midlands…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2000,299,5187,183],"class_list":{"0":"post-490828","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-european","11":"tag-travel"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115355234990722464","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
