If the records are in order and the house is registered as a cabin/house then it's extremely unlikely. If they're registered as farm buildings, then find out if they can be converted. In some places it's easy. The Med coast not so easy.

A lot of it happened with developers building new stuff without permissions, or converting farm buildings without enough land to legal change the building type.
