Thanks, Mr Punter. Yep, that's what I'm trying to get at least some idea about - whether it's likely to be a money pit or not. The house itself is on the market for €9000, but if the work costs 10x that or more, and creates a world of stress, then...

Thank you, Jilly. A great point, and one likely often overlooked.

Thanks for raising these excellent points, Mike. I'll be contacting a structural engineer, as you suggest.

Hi, folks. I'm looking at buying an inexpensive old stone house in Italy and want to ask the community here whether they think that the cost to repair or replace the carrying beams held up by the floor props will be cripplingly expensive. Essentially, are we talking £10k to do this or £50k+? Thanks in advance for your input.
