Due Diligence Comparison Rule:
A lower headline purchase price does not mean a cheaper completed project. Municipalities differ substantially in mandatory guarantee bonds (€1,000 up to €5,000), renovation timelines (1 to 3 years), and local contractor availability. Always test assumptions with our total-cost calculator and confirm title status directly with an appointed local notary.
