What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The advertised €33,222 price is attractive at €208/m², and the habitable condition suggests roughly €200/m² in renovation costs. However, the listing explicitly states “ASTA - PRE ASTA,” making it a judicial auction and therefore a trap under the buying criteria.
More on the house and the area
The listing claims a sizable, habitable 160 m² apartment with a kitchen, balcony, terrace, heating, and an unusually low price. However, the gallery is almost entirely promotional material and does not prove the apartment’s interior quality, views, or condition, so it offers little genuine dream-home appeal.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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/pre-auction purchase with legal and procedural complexity.
- No property-specific interior or exterior photos are provided, so condition and actual livability cannot be verified.
- Bathrooms are not listed in the facts despite the property being described as habitable.
- The Rome skyline image appears promotional rather than a confirmed view from the apartment.
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 41/100This is on the northeastern edge of the Roman urban belt, in the low Sabine hills above the Aniene plain. The nearest larger city is Rome, with the full range of services and rail connections reached via the outer suburban road network. Tivoli is nearby, with Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este, both UNESCO sites, but they sit outside the immediate surroundings. The area around the cluster is mainly built-up residential fabric mixed with ordinary rolling countryside and road corridors rather than a distinct named landscape.
