The beautiful European town that will pay you £25k to move there

Those wanting to maximise a fresh start this new year may be thinking of leaving Britain’s gloomy shores for a sunnier setting. What if your new locale could pay you for packing it up and starting anew? These Italian towns could line your pockets ahead of your move in a “win win” deal.
In efforts to encourage a baby-boom, certain countries are rolling out the red carpet to entice new citizens to move into specific areas. “It’s a win-win: you get a fresh start and a helping hand, while the local economies enjoy a much-needed boost,” said Wayne Mills, head of Operations at Seven Seas Worldwide.
Searingly hot in the summer, and surrounded by glittering coastlines, the beautiful neighbouring towns of Presicce and Acquarica, nestled amongst the whitewashed hill towns of Italy’s “boot” offer the most lucrative deal to new residents. Puglia is a far sight away from Britain's rain and cold with temperatures rarely dropping below 11°C in winter and highs staying consistently above 30°C in the summer months.
Just for simply moving there as a family and purchasing a property, the region will pay you €30,000 (£24,878) . As a bonus, when you do decide to fully set down your roots and start a family, you will be offered an additional €1,000 (£829.55) per newborn. To qualify, you must buy a house and register it as your primary residence.
If you fancy channelling your entrepreneurial spirit the Calabria region of Italy will square off any new business endeavours with €28,000 (£23,222). “Calabria is on the southwestern tip of Italy, in one of the sunniest and quietest, most picturesque regions of Italy,” said Mills. “This is the perfect chance to live the dreamy, small Italian village life.” The cash is also up for grabs for anyone willing to fill essential jobs in the region; however, the deal is only available for those under 40 and you must arrive in Italy within 90 days after your acceptance into the program.
