A man who purchased a rundown property in Italy for just 85p has been forced to sell his house - as he couldn't find workers to renovate the property in time to meet a strict deadline.
Danny McCubbin, 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.
