What it really costs

Livable, but something basic is worn out

Veto: the description explicitly says 'ASTA IMMOBILIARE', so this is a judicial auction and scores as a trap regardless of the low asking price. The listing also mixes an apartment with a warehouse/magazzino, adding complexity for a foreign buyer.
More on the house and the area
This is a usable, substantial house rather than a ruin, with finished rooms, stairs, kitchen and living spaces already in place. But it has little visual romance: the exterior is industrial-roadside, the garden area is rough, and there is no proven view or notable historic character. The low price for 202 sqm is eye-catching, yet the overall dream-home appeal is limited.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
- Very plain roadside exterior with no meaningful view or special setting.
- Interiors look dated and utilitarian rather than characterful.
- Listing shows a large warehouse/garage component, so the residential layout may be less straightforward than a typical villa.
- Auction sale: documents and occupancy/regularity 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 72/100The cluster lies in the Peligna valley with the Morrone massif immediately to the east and the Maiella massif close to the south-east. The Sagittario and Aterno-Gizio river system shapes the wider valley around Sulmona. The Maiella National Park begins nearby on the mountain side above the valley. Sulmona is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, rail connections and services. The area is known for the enclosed intermontane basin of the Peligna and for access into the Maiella and the gorges toward the upper Sagittario valley.
