The €8,990 asking price is exceptionally low at €112/m²; allowing roughly €200/m² for updates gives an effective cost near €312/m², below comparable Campania homes. The listing includes heating, garage, kitchen, cellar and fireplace, but it does not state the condition or confirm bathrooms, while Vallata is relatively far from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A very cheap independent 80 m² house in a historic Campanian village, with attractive stone-framed openings, a fireplace, garage, cellar, kitchen and heating. However, the facade is visibly tired and the dark interior is undocumented, so this looks more like a renovation opportunity than a ready-to-live-in home.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 exterior shows significant peeling plaster and general neglect.
- No interior photos are provided, and the listing does not confirm a bathroom or current habitability.
- This is an auction property, so legal, access, and actual-condition checks are essential.
- The €8,990 price is a starting bid, not necessarily the final acquisition cost.
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.
