WELCOME TO THE ABANDONED HOUSE DAY!
Do you dream of a house in the countryside? Are you curious about buying and renovating an older house? Or do you just want to learn more about the opportunities available in our empty houses?
Welcome to an inspiring day for those who want to know more about buying, renovating, and giving new life to older houses. During the day, you will meet people who have made the journey themselves, receive expert advice, and get answers to questions about everything from the condition of the house to financing. You will also have the opportunity to meet others with the same interest, exchange experiences, and discuss ideas.
