This is explicitly an auction listing ('asta immobiliare'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The ad also conflicts with the facts: it is described as office use in a basement/semi-basement and currently occupied, while the structured data labels it a habitable villa/apartment; at €67,500 for 86 sqm this cannot be treated as a normal dwelling deal.
More on the house and the area
This looks functional rather than dreamy: a plain 1980s semi-basement unit on an ordinary suburban street, with no view, garden or notable character. The interiors appear finished and usable, with floors, heating and a bathroom, but they read as office space and would need conversion back into a comfortable home. The low price helps, yet the lifestyle wow is very limited.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- Currently used as an office rather than a home
- Occupied by the debtor company
- Semi-basement unit with street-level access only
- No kitchen shown and no bathroom count in facts
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 61/100The cluster is on the Prenestini hills, part of the Anti-Apennine limestone ridge east of Rome. The Sacco valley lies nearby, and the higher Simbruini-Ernici mountains rise farther east beyond the immediate hills. Palestrina itself is a substantial historic hill town with the sanctuary complex of Fortuna Primigenia and a large old centre. Within this radius the landscape is a mix of wooded slopes, olive groves and settled hill country rather than open high mountain terrain. Rome is the nearest major city for higher-order services and transport, but it does not affect the landscape score. The area is known historically for ancient Praeneste and for hill towns on the Roman hinterland ridge.
