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 listing is explicitly an judicial auction ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a hard veto for this catalog despite the low ask of €38,813 for 261 sqm (€149/sqm). Condition is marked habitable, but auction status overrides pricing attractiveness.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: it has finished floors, stairs, kitchen, bedrooms and a bathroom, so livability is clearly there. The setting is a modest village-edge location with woodland around it and a small bit of land, but the visuals are ordinary rather than dreamy. The very low price for 261 sqm adds appeal, yet the wow comes more from value and size than beauty.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Roadside setting on a sloping village street, with no especially pretty exterior shown
- Interiors look usable but dated and somewhat dark
- Auction sale: documentation and condition details should be checked carefully
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 cluster is in the Matese–Mainarde Apennine country, with wooded ridges and hill slopes around the upper Volturno basin. The Volturno valley lies nearby, and the area is known for mountain pasture, woodland and small stone villages. The nearest larger town is Isernia, which has the provincial services and a substantial historic centre. The Santuario di Maria Santissima Addolorata di Castelpetroso is a known pilgrimage site in the immediate area. Campitello Matese, the nearest ski area, is roughly an hour’s drive and does not sit within the local 15 km landscape.
