From €25k: Trust that feeling

The Friday Fix 🧰

Happy Friday, friend!

We had a client last year who bought a crumbling village house in southern Italy purely as an investment. The numbers worked, the location was solid, but the place needed everything - new plumbing, electrical work, a complete kitchen overhaul. She planned to flip it quickly and move on to the next project. Six months later, she called us from her "new" kitchen, morning espresso in hand, completely smitten. Somewhere between choosing tiles and watching sunrise paint the ancient walls, she'd fallen hopelessly in love with her fixer-upper. The investment became her home.

This is what we've learned from watching dozens of property purchases: vision matters more than budget.

Whether you spend €25,000 or €2.5M, the magic happens after you sign the deeds. How you honor the original character while weaving in your own story. How you preserve what deserves preserving while fearlessly changing what doesn't serve you. Sometimes the vision hits immediately- you walk through the door and just know. Other times, you grow into loving a place as you live with its quirks and discover its secrets. But here's the thing: if the bones are good and your gut says yes, trust that instinct. The rest - the vision, the love, the transformation - can unfold as you go.
