think first and got enough success, the Canadian entrepreneur Peter Gatien, better known as the king of nightclubs in New York was known. His nightclub, the Limelight in the Big Apple was in 1983 in an empty church on Sixth Avenue opened. After a few years ago, he said in London, where the “Limelight” find its location in a former Presbyterian church in 1754 Shaftesbury Avenue. Since the idea of converting old properties, such as places of worship, but also at the houses of way, lighting, factories and slaughterhouses, even in the houses of the world and ended up sweeping Italy. Of course we are still not in the same situation as the U.S. where the credit crisis, the churches and communities forced to several places of worship in the market, but what was once a niche trend now, it is becoming increasingly popular.

According to the latest data from the Land Registry Italian, under “properties for non-residential buildings’, which are included in the buildings of worship, but also of the lighthouses, towers, forts, bridges and even stations are only 60 875. only 0.11% of all properties in Italy, but it is the lack of these characteristics makes it so necessary to people who want to live in private houses. Can you imagine the difference between the stimulus of living in a church in the seventh against condominium living in the suburbs of a city?

“For an economic value for properties that are not with this in the past – says Mario Breglia, president of Property Research and Studies Institute Scenari Immobiliari” -. It is a trend that is becoming increasingly popular in Italy a few years, the confidence public property on the market 362 properties used as holiday camps, were a third of them were in the Emilia-Romagna. After a few years, almost half of them converted to professional use, male in hotels. We can say that in areas in which the real estate market is booming this type of building a value not before.

The price of this property differs from region to region, and the difference can be very broad: for example, is a small church of 170 square meters in Florence “only” 780,000 to another church of 840 square meters in the middle? Naples is sold? 5,000,000. But not only the churches are for sale over the Internet can also be found on houses mender auction with bid prices from? On more than 19,000? 600,000. Definitely more special is the sale of the slaughterhouse in the town of Spoleto (Umbria) with a bid of? 2 million away for a good 710 meters. Ferrovie dello Stato (Italian railways) are often its properties and Station Cervaro (Apulia) has a purchase price of marketed? While to buy 9.3 million of the old school of Jilin Ozieri (Sardinia) are asked for a bit? 128,000.

But what do you care now what seems to be a bargain at first glance does not always seem as such. “The cost is lower – said Breglia -. The problems begin with the renovation, which leads to much more than in Italy expected today may can be almost anything torn down and rebuilt, is then very important to all aspects of this property know whether it can be converted into a house, or if the possibility of negotiating an agreement with the community. Another aspect to be considered is the location of the property. The lack of these features makes it impossible for the prices of similar properties understand, compare, if the price is fair or not. “If the real estate market in a region rich will not be empty,” said Breglia, “in Milan many buildings are in a showroom converted, but in the same building in another City may remain unsold as of Campobasso.

It is also true that there is such a property for everyone in their own home, no doubt convert this decision with their hearts more than their wallets.
