Kann mir jemand aus Großbritannien sagen, warum dieses Haus in Norwegen so günstig ist?

Old house in need of repair, far away from everything.
In the middle of nowhere. No jobs. Long Winters. 17c is a very hot day.
Also I’m a bit unsure about internet access. Maybe someone else know if it’s good or not?
Location, location and location.
The house is small, old, in poor shape, and in a location where very few people want to live.
It’s not a house but a farm. You are required to farm the land, or rent the land out to someone else to farm it.
Currently the land is being rented out to a neighboring farm (but not under contract) according to the sales information.
Besides that, it’s an old house. There is little insulation, the windows need to be replaced, the doors need to be replaced, drainage needs to be fixed, there is moisture in the basement, the electrical systems need to be inspected and possibly replaced. This is all written in the documentation.
The secondary buildings on the property are old and in need of replacement.
There is compulsory residence in the area, so you cannot use it as a vacation home.
It’s relatively far away from cities, with Tromsø for example being a 3 hour drive away.
A lot of continentals and central europeans might not realise just how large norway is, in span, and how far away this house is from pretty much everyone. You gotta drive everywhere, and you’re entirely reliant on your car. That’s usually not the case for most of Norway, even the more remote parts.
If you want to go somewhere other than in your immediate vicinity (which you might want to if you wanna go to concerts, visit people, do something fun), you usually have to go on a plane, get a hotel, and spend a lot more than the equivalent southerner doing the same trip. And planes from the north of norway to the south are very expensive. There are very few main hubs; even the larger towns in this area feel relatively isolated compared to the south of norway, and also you get no sun half the year.
The view is nice, but there are nice views all along the west coast, and they don’t need to come at the expense of being so remote. I’m sure it’s nice if you’re into that sort of stuff, but for most of the people in the housing market, this sort of location is not very desirable.
In the middle of bumfuck nowhere
I mean everyone explained why this is an outlier, but in general the prices in UK are ridicously high, compared to most of Europe.
Coastal erosion too
I’ve heard that some of these old houses are insulated with asbestos. Makes the renovation even more expensive.
