thanks to everone who has took the time to reply!

okay
1: can you provide me with a vaulation company ,costs etc

2; my idea is to puchase a restoration project with land with good amenties and transport links. CORUND is 1-2 hours from Tirgus Mures airport and is a one of the best tourist villiges in Romania for Ceramics.in the area also are many spars,salt mines and ski areas.

3: my aim to is not an investment as such ie capital growth, rental returns but a life syle change. i simply wish to make a positive contribution to romaina in terms of setting up an art retreat/workshops, market stools with EC FUNDING. At worse it will be just a holiday home. where i wish to spend 3-6months a year. if i can spend 40,000euro on restoration on top of a fair price for purchase and get at least my money back in 5 years i will be happy.

there lies the problem , i belive the agent is passing on the costs for "cleaning up the papers" onto me while provding the seller with a great price.

i wish to re negioate the price and am trying to work out the price i wish to pay that is fair
the valuation would help this.
so is 1.3 euro a ripp off
total out lay i believe should be 22,000 euros top plus 40,000 renovations.

need someone who can speak to locals see what the price really should be, even act as if they are a buyer and appoach the seller
