What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly states this is a judicial auction ("vendita giudiziaria", "aste giudiziarie"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the ask is €510/m² vs a €625/m² baseline and the stated condition is habitable, auction status overrides the pricing signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a modest, real townhouse rather than a romantic dream-home listing: a simple street facade with balcony and terrace, and a price that is undeniably cheap for 99 sqm. It appears structurally like a usable house, but with no interior photos and some visible exterior wear, the wow factor stays limited and the true condition is hard to trust. The glamorous landscape and city images are explicitly illustrative, so they should not boost expectations.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- No interior photos, so actual finish and livability are unverified.
- Facade shows wear and likely needs cosmetic maintenance.
- Auction sale can add procedural complexity and uncertainty.
- Illustrative area images do not represent the actual property or its view.
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 68/100The area sits in the Sabina hills, with olive-covered slopes and low ridges above the Tiber valley. The Tiber runs to the west within this radius. Monte Soratte stands nearby as an isolated limestone ridge above the plain. The Riserva Naturale Nazzano Tevere-Farfa lies in the Tiber valley, and the lower Farfa valley is part of the local landscape. Farfa Abbey is in the area near Fara in Sabina. The nearest larger centre is Rieti for provincial services, while the Rome urban area is the main external pull for work and transport. The area is known for Sabina olive oil.
