        I didn't know that... however that's like paying for a VPN and two Netflix accounts to be able to get all Netflix content. I'd rather just ignore them if they don't want my business.

  I'm even lazier than you, so I won't watch it and just guess: I suspect that the purchase is contingent on you committing funds to restoration that honour history (if appropriate) or code. e.g., you can't buy a ruined castle, make it remotely liveable and camp there; you'd need to deal with local council, sewage, plumbing, running electricity, etc. Where a certain technique of centuries-old stonework was used, you'd need to find the lone expert accredited in renovating and securing walls, etc. There are hundreds of amazing ruins around Australia that the land owners can't justify renovating because the costs to do it justice are too much. Huge shame.

  There's some listing of the expenses being done at https://youtu.be/nP2vtDLTAgM?t=412 https://youtu.be/nP2vtDLTAgM?t=412 Listing $1 Taxes $400 Deposit $5,600 Renovations $60,000 Flights $10,000 Earlier they talk about taxes + fees totalling about $3,000. A few seconds after listing the expenses they cite a Forbes article, where one residents expects to spend $124,000 to renovate their place. They talk about some of these homes requiring at least $17,000 of renovations to be done. The houses are sometimes auctioned off, starting at $1, but they may be sold for more than $20,000. The deposit is refundable if you start renovating within a year after buying the house.
