A man who bought a house in Italy for just 85p has been forced to give it up after being unable to find tradesmen to refurbish the property before a strict deadline.
Danny McCubbin purchased the building in Mussomeli, Sicily, after a 'Case 1 Euro' campaign was launched to encourage foreigners and investment in the area.
The Australian, who has lived in the UK for 17 years, considered the opportunity too good a bargain to miss out on - and encouraged others to take advantage of the deal, according to the Mirror.
