What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and makes it a trap regardless of the low asking price. The house also shows water infiltration, a deformed wooden floor, and dated systems, implying roughly €700/m² renovation on top of €250/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a real old-town house rather than a ruin, with a nice arched stone doorway and some period character. But the photos show a very plain, cluttered interior with damp issues and a structural concern in one room, so it feels usable only after meaningful repairs and updating. At the price, it has some appeal as a cheap historic base, not a dream-home scroll stopper.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €43,000
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.
- Visible water infiltration and damp staining.
- One bedroom has a deformed wooden floor/ceiling structure.
- No heating is installed.
- Ground floor appears more like storage than finished living space.
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 67/100The cluster lies in the Vallo di Diano, with the southern Campanian Apennines around it and the valley floor used for fields and pasture. The Tanagro river runs through this valley. The area is close to the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park, which includes the mountains and uplands around the plain. Montesano sulla Marcellana is the nearest larger local centre, and Sala Consilina is the main service town of the valley with shops, schools and a motorway junction. Padula, within the same valley, has the Certosa di San Lorenzo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This part of the Vallo di Diano is known for a broad inland basin between limestone mountains rather than for a single dominant landmark right at the village.
