This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto. The listing also contradicts the the listing: it is not renovated but a 276 sqm shell with no systems, floors or finishes, implying roughly €1,100/m² to complete on top of the €51,710 price.
More on the house and the area
There is some appeal in the mountain backdrop, large balconies and sizable plot, and the price per square metre is strikingly low. But this is clearly an unfinished shell rather than a usable home: bare block interiors, no finishes, no systems, and no bathroom shown. It could become a substantial house, but today it feels like a project first and a dream home second.
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€109,000 – €161,000
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.
- Advanced shell only: no plaster, floors, systems, kitchen or bathroom
- Needs full fit-out before it can be lived in
- Outdoor areas are rough/unfenced and overgrown
- Auction sale with planning/constraint checks needed
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 72/100The Ausoni Mountains rise immediately inland, and the Monti Aurunci lie to the southeast. Lake Fondi is on the coastal side of the town, and the Tyrrhenian coast with the beaches of the Fondi-Sperlonga stretch is within the local area. The Monti Ausoni e Lago di Fondi Regional Park covers part of this landscape. Fondi has a substantial historic centre with the baronial castle and a cathedral, and Terracina and Formia are the nearest larger coastal service towns for rail links, hospitals and wider retail. Sperlonga, on the same coastal stretch, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia and has Bandiera Blu beach status. The area is known for market gardening on the plain, for the lake and coastal strip, and for the meeting of plain, wetland and limestone mountains.
