In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, which is a disqualifying risk, and the advertised 235 m² is only an estimate rather than the actual measured area. The listing says the images are indicative, not real photos, so the €162/m² figure cannot be reliably compared with the local €438/m² reference.
More on the house and the area
The interiors shown are clean and modern, but they appear to belong to a different property and offer no reliable evidence of this home’s beauty or livability. The actual property may be a sizable habitable townhouse, yet its condition, layout, bathrooms, and setting remain unverified.
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€16,000 – €26,000
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 says the images are indicative stock photos, not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase with uncertain size and no verified bathroom count or real condition.
- The visible exterior is a generic apartment-block facade with no demonstrated view, garden, or historic character.
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 61/100The area sits in the Lucanian Apennines, with wooded hills and agricultural valleys around Bella. The Ofanto river system is nearby, and the landscape is inland southern Apennine countryside rather than a plain. The nearest larger town is Potenza, which has the main services, rail connections and provincial institutions. This part of Basilicata is known for mountain villages, forests, grazing land and mixed farming.
