The government of a popular Mediterranean holiday island is offering a £12,700 (15,000 euros) grant to entice people to move to the dream destination. Politicians in Sardinia want to attract new residents to combat the dwindling population of its rural towns and villages.
However, the cash must be used to purchase or renovation of a property, but does not have to be repaid immediately, reports Travel Tomorrow. But there are other rules to follow before any potential homeowners can move to the Italian island.
The location of the house must be in a municipality with fewer than 3,000 inhabitants. The grant should also not exceed half of the purchase or renovation costs, reports SchengenVisaInfo.com.
