Buying A Castle

First Published Date: August 13, 2016

We all heard of this – if you are a celebrity or a rich person and money is no matter to you, you probably have to have an island or a castle to vacation a few days every year. Castles may be the epitome of luxury, but the matter of the truth is, you don’t need to be rich beyond belief to actually buy a castle.

Sure, the more money you have in the bank the wider the choice. If you are a millionaire then that makes things a lot more straightforward. However, it is still possible to grab a castle for as little as $50,000 in some countries in Europe. And also, there are castles that could cost range from 1 million dollars to 50 million dollars. It all depends on what type of castle you would like to buy and how fat your wallet is.

Most castles that are in demand in the international real estate market are located throughout Europe. Some of the countries where the castle concentration is high are:

– Scotland
– France
– Italy
– Germany
– Czech Republic
Some of the countries listed below may offer castles at bargains:
– Croatia
– Bulgaria
– Hungary
– Poland
– Romania

There are many other things to take into account when buying a castle. If you buy at the bottom price, you may need to make arrangements for necessities such as water supply, electricity, and other accommodation essentials. If you pay more, you should expect something with better facilities and readiness for human habitation.

There are numerous global real estate agents that are specialized in buying and selling castles. Keep in mind the phrase caveat emptor – buyer beware.  Always make sure what type of castle you want, how large it should be, what you intend to do with it, and what your budget is before you contact a real estate agency. And never make any decisions before seeing a few castles at first.
