See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly an auction listing ('asta immobiliare'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and pushes the score into trap territory regardless of the low asking price. The raw ask is €70,708 for 495 sqm (€143/m²), below the €317/m² baseline, but auction risk overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
This is a big rural villa with a decent private setting, open land and a surprisingly low price for the size. The main house appears roofed and basically habitable rather than a shell, but it looks tired and some secondary buildings are clearly in rough condition. It feels more like a practical bargain with work ahead than a true dream-home scroll stopper.
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€33,000 – €55,000
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.
- Exterior looks dated and somewhat neglected.
- Ancillary wooden/outbuilding structure appears in poor condition with roof damage.
- No bathroom shown despite large size, so internal fit-out/livability is unclear.
- Auction sale: documents and property status need careful verification.
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 is in the Lucanian Apennines, in a hill and mountain interior of wooded slopes, ravines and cultivated uplands. The Agri valley lies nearby, and this part of inland Basilicata is associated with the historic villages of the Val d'Agri and Sauro area. Corleto Perticara is the nearest local centre with basic services, while Potenza is the nearest provincial capital for hospitals, rail links and a wider range of shops and offices. Guardia Perticara is itself listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia.
