Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €35,626 asking price is €321/m², about 41% below comparable apartments, but the listing does not describe the condition, bathrooms, or livability. With substantial renovation assumed and energy class G, the effective cost could exceed €1,000/m², making this a risky rather than exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, furnished 111 sqm apartment with a functioning kitchen, bathrooms, several bedrooms and generous balconies, so it reads as a real home rather than a renovation project. It is comfortable and unusually inexpensive, but the ordinary urban apartment-block setting and dated decorative style offer limited dream-home character or standout views.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Judicial-auction purchase involves legal, occupancy and due-diligence risks.
- The apartment appears furnished and usable, but the energy class is G and the building/interiors are fairly dated.
- The gallery appears to include multiple similar or overlapping photo sets, so the exact unit configuration should be verified.
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 92/100The town sits on the lower northern slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Mount Vesuvius and the Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio are within 15 km; the park includes marked trails that reach the crater rim. The Gulf of Naples is the adjacent sea; shoreline towns between Pollena Trocchia and the gulf include Ercolano (Herculaneum), Torre del Greco and Torre Annunziata. The archaeological areas of Pompei, Ercolano (Herculaneum) and Torre Annunziata are UNESCO World Heritage sites and lie within the same radius. The area is part of the Naples metropolitan zone; Naples is the nearest large city with a major port, long-distance rail links and Naples–Capodichino airport reachable by road. Soils on the lower slopes are volcanic; local agriculture includes vineyards and orchards and the area is associated with Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC wine. The territory combines an urbanised coastal plain toward Naples with cultivated and forested volcanic slopes closer to Vesuvius; there are no ski lifts in the area.
