Hi everyone
I'm new here. I'm from Germany so please excuse any mistakes as English is not my first language.
My boyfriend and I fell in love with Gozo several years ago. Now we are thinking about buying a small apartment to use it as a holiday home for us and the family. Now the problem is that as a foreigner you have to spend a minimum of 104.000 Euro wich is a little to much for us. We could spend about 70.000 We were about to give up our plan, but I found something interesting the other day. It says you can buy below the threshold of 104,000 as long as you have an architects certificate showing that the property requires additional costs. Now the question is, is there anyone here who has done that and would be so kind to share their experiences with me. Is the architect supposed to be a local or can I hire one in Germany. And do I really have to spend the rest of the money to reach the threshold of 104.000 or is it enough to get the certificate?
Thank you so much for reading all of this, would be amazing if anyone could help me
Kind regards
Rosie
