This is my experience of British immigrants in Spain who voted for #Brexit. People with no capacity for critical thinking. They voted for Brexit "because of the immigrants". Now they themselves lost their EU privileges, duh!
They were told both lies AND the truth & they chose the lies. Because they're idiots.
On the plus side EU has become an even nicer place to be because it's now less likely that you'll hear people like Greg from Winchester sounding off about the immigrants in UK.
@nloveladyallen Quite probably not. In Spain and Italy there a LOT of old houses in need of work at those kind of prices. Usually in some inland town / village in some of the poorer regions.
Very much buyer beware, though. Many are in old, narrow streets with near-impossible access for the crane, building materials lorry, concrete lorry that you will almost certainly need to repair the roof. Don’t ask me how I know, but, yeah, I know.
@nloveladyallen Oh, and any major building work, like a new roof, or repairing internal floors, needs an architect’s plan and need to comply with today’s building codes (in Spain). This means that previously low ceilings now need to be raised to at least 2.5m high. Again, don’t ask me how I know, but I know.
Also beware local regulations to maintain the aesthetic of historic neighbourhoods.
So your £15k bargain can often turn into a bit of a nightmare.
