A more interesting property thread

I seriously considered buying that ex monastry last year. It was offered at a very reasonable price, but I figured I couldnt raise the cash to refurb it.
I figured it for hotel and country club and as I remember it had enough land for a couple of golf courses.

If t was in a bad way you may have been eligible fort a grant to help with refurbishment? A couple from Portsmouth that moved up north next to my parents stomping ground got a 70% grant for the cost of refurbishment of their recently acquired but ‘n’ ben.

Erm, yes. It always sounds great until you go there.

I fell for that one and went and lived in Paris. Sometime during that period I promised myself I'd never go and live in Italy, in case it spoiled that for me too.

Never imagine that a beautiful mistress will make a good wife, monsieur!
