A project, not a home yet

See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although classified as an apartment, the description identifies a 32 m² covered parking space/garage with no bedrooms or bathrooms, so it does not meet the brief of a livable home. The €7,130 price is low at €223/m² versus €594/m² locally, but that comparison is not meaningful for residential property.
More on the house and the area
The photos show a clean but entirely utilitarian underground garage in a modern residential complex, with no characterful interior or meaningful property view. Despite the very low price, this is parking space rather than a beautiful, usable Italian home.
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€2,000 – €4,000
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.
- This is a 32 m² covered parking garage, not a dwelling.
- No bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, or living space is shown; it is not suitable for living.
- Auction purchase may involve additional fees, condominium charges, and access/legal checks.
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

Assisi itself is a major historic hill town with the Basilica of San Francesco and other Franciscan sites, and the Franciscan Places in Assisi are UNESCO-listed.
