Londoner Says 85p Sicily House Helped Clear £10,000 Debt, Double Income

Lower costs in Sicily, plus income from documenting renovations, funded his turnaround.

Overview

  • According to MyLondon’s interview, George Laing, 33, bought a derelict three-bedroom house in Mussomeli in December 2022 through a one‑euro scheme.
  • He says he moved in without water or electricity and spent about £2,000 on 18 months of DIY renovation.
  • Posting the project on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, plus hosting paid seminars, reportedly covered living costs and cleared roughly £10,000 of debt.
  • He bought a second one‑euro, three‑floor building now being converted into studio flats, holds both homes freehold, and says he will keep them.
  • He sells a £29.99, 40‑page guide, claims hundreds of sales, used Immobiliare Siciliana to avoid scams, and is targeting about 50 properties next.
