Man who bought dream home in Italy for just €1 forced to give it up three years on

A man who purchased a rundown house in Italy for just €1 has been forced to sell the property- as he couldn't find workers to renovate it in time to meet a strict deadline.

Danny McCubbin, aged 58, bought the house in Mussomeli, Sicily, where a 'Case 1 Euro' campaign was launched to encourage foreigners to the area.

The Aussie, who had been living in the UK for 17 years, decided the opportunity to own an overseas home at a cut down price was too good to turn down and urged others to do the same, our sister Mirror site reports.
