Livable, but something basic is worn out

See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly a judicial auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Even though the asking level is low at €143/m² versus a €317/m² baseline, auction risk overrides price attractiveness.
More on the house and the area
This is a big rural hill villa with land, a broad facade, terrace space and a secluded countryside setting, so it has some dream-property appeal. The main house looks structurally substantial and likely usable, but the photo set is weak on interiors and clearly shows secondary buildings in poor, partly unfinished condition. It feels more like a bargain mini-estate with work to do than an immediately enchanting move-in home.
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.
- Photos show incomplete/rough outbuildings, including a wooden prefab with visible roof damage.
- Interiors are barely documented, so true livability of the main villa is uncertain.
- Auction sale: legal/document checks and exact property status are essential.
- Large multi-building compound may need significant cleanup and maintenance.
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.
