See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €70,807 asking price (€562/m²) is close to the local €542/m² reference, but this is explicitly a judicial auction, which carries substantial purchase and occupancy risk. The listing also states one bathroom while the property data records none, and the advertised images are only indicative.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, apparently habitable 126 sqm apartment with balconies, a large attic/deposit, and a garage, but the actual home cannot be judged from the gallery because the images are explicitly non-representative. The facts suggest practical value rather than a distinctive dream-home setting: no proven views, garden, historic character, or standout exterior are shown.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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 all images are indicative and not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase involves legal, occupancy, and condition due diligence.
- Energy class G; the real interior condition, light, views, and finishes remain unverified.
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 63/100The cluster lies in the Picentini hills at the western edge of the Monti Picentini, with wooded uplands and ridges inland. The Sele plain opens to the south and west, and the Gulf of Salerno coast is nearby but not inside the immediate inland landscape. The Monti Picentini Regional Park is within reach on the inland side of the municipality area. The nearest sizeable city is Salerno, which provides rail links, port services, hospitals and a full range of shops and offices. This part of the Picentini is known for chestnut woods, olive groves and hill villages above the plain.
