This is a judicial auction for only a 1/2 share of the apartment and a 1/2 share of the box-magazine, so it is not a straightforward purchase of a complete home. The €21,593 price for 54 m² is therefore misleading despite appearing below comparable local prices.
More on the house and the area
The indicative images suggest a recently renovated, functional apartment, but they cannot be used to prove the beauty or condition of this specific home. The 54 sqm layout could be practical, yet the half-ownership auction share and lack of genuine property photos make this a weak dream-home proposition.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€4,000 – €6,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- The listing explicitly states that the images are illustrative and not the actual property photos.
- Only a 1/2 ownership share is being sold, which is a major practical and legal complication.
- The auction listing gives no reliable evidence of the apartment’s real interior condition, utilities, or bathroom status.
- The photographed building appears heavily weathered, despite the stated habitable condition.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 72/100The cluster sits in the central Apennines (Abruzzo Apennines) in the Sangro river valley; the Sangro river runs through Castel di Sangro. The Roccaraso–Rivisondoli ski area (Aremogna, Monte Pratello) is within about 15 km and provides ski lifts and pistes; driving time to Roccaraso is typically around 15–20 minutes. Terrain within the 15 km radius is mountainous with forested slopes, valley floors used for small-scale agriculture and pastures, and scattered mountain villages. The area is part of the Alto Sangro region near the Abruzzo–Molise border. Nearest larger centres beyond the immediate valley include Sulmona and Isernia, which provide regional services and rail links. The area is known locally for winter sports around Roccaraso and for mountain hiking and regional mountain cuisine.
