This is a judicial-auction listing, so it carries significant purchase and occupancy risk despite the apparent €146/m² price versus €550/m² for comparable local stock. The advertised 110 m² is only estimated from similar properties, and the images are explicitly not real photos.
More on the house and the area
This appears to be a large, potentially habitable apartment in Sulmona’s historic center, with a very striking price and a described private terrace. However, the actual home’s beauty cannot be judged from these generic illustrative photos, and the auction details and size are uncertain.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 states that all images are indicative and not photos of the actual property.
- The advertised 110 sqm is an estimate and may not match the official measurement.
- Auction purchase, energy class G, and the real condition, utilities, and legal status require verification.
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 74/100The cluster is in the Peligna basin with the Morrone massif and the Majella visible at short range, and the edges of the Sirente Velino and Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise mountain systems also shape the wider basin. The Gizio river runs through Sulmona and the Aterno valley is close by. Majella National Park begins just east of the basin, with access from Pacentro and the slopes above Campo di Giove well within about 15 km. The nearest ski area is Passo San Leonardo on the Maiella side above Pacentro, roughly a 25 minute drive, while Campo di Giove is also close on the same mountain system. Sulmona is the main town of the area and has a substantial historic centre, cathedral, aqueduct, rail station and full services. Pacentro, just outside Sulmona, is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for confetti sugared almonds and for a basin landscape of enclosed mountains and hill villages.
