This is a judicial-auction property, which carries major legal and purchasing risks regardless of the attractive €45,564 asking price. The description calls the building fatiscente and says the images are only indicative; allowing roughly €1,100/m² for restoration brings the estimated effective cost to about €1,649/m².
More on the house and the area
The historic Naples setting and ornate, weathered façade give this home genuine character, while the high barrel-vaulted living room and balcony add appeal. However, the building itself is described as dilapidated, and the gallery is explicitly not representative of the actual property, so the real livability and finish level are uncertain.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€33,000 – €49,000
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 property is in a described-fatiscente, deteriorated building, despite the listing calling the unit habitable.
- This is an auction property, with potential legal, access, and renovation uncertainties.
- One bedroom is internal and reportedly has no exterior window; the listing images are explicitly indicative rather than real property photos.
- Energy class G and the building’s condition may imply substantial future costs.
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.
