Although the €15,000 asking price is only €283/m² for a 53 m² apartment, the listing explicitly states that it is a judicial auction scheduled for 12/01/2027. Auction purchases carry legal, procedural, and possession risks that override the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely atmospheric village home with a handsome old stone-and-wood entrance, exposed masonry, a large rustic fireplace, and a compact bathroom. It appears to be a real, roofed and usable dwelling rather than a shell, but the interiors are dated, cluttered, and would need refreshing. The €15,000 auction price is a strong bargain signal, though there is no major view or outdoor space to elevate it further.
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.
- Auction purchase with legal, cadastral, and occupancy checks required.
- Interiors appear dated, dark, and in need of cosmetic renovation.
- No garden, terrace, notable view, or clear heating/utilities details are shown.
- The listing facts report zero bathrooms despite a bathroom appearing in the photos; verify the actual layout and compliance.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the low, cultivated hills of the Viterbo area (northern Lazio) with mixed agricultural land, olive groves, vineyards and patches of broadleaf woodland. Viterbo (provincial capital) lies within about 15 km and provides a medieval town centre, the cathedral (Duomo), the Papal Palace (Palazzo dei Papi) and municipal services. Viterbo also has thermal baths (Terme dei Papi) and a regional rail link toward Rome. The locality is inside the historical sub-region known as Tuscia, on volcanic-derived soils; the wider province contains Etruscan and medieval sites and small-scale agricultural production (olive oil and local wines).
