This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a hard veto for this catalog regardless of the low asking price. At €33,750 for 184 sqm (€183/sqm) it looks cheap versus the €378/sqm baseline, but the auction status overrides that signal.
More on the house and the area
The house has a decent, real-home exterior with terraces and a detached-villa feel, and the price is very low for the size. But inside it looks dirty, cluttered and only partially shown, with no attractive finished living spaces visible. This feels like a cheap practical project rather than a dream Italian 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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Interiors appear heavily cluttered and neglected, so true condition is worse than the 'habitable' label suggests.
- Bathrooms/kitchen usability is unclear from the photos.
- Garden/yard is overgrown and needs cleanup.
- Auction sale: documentation and occupancy/status 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 40/100This is the lower Friulian plain between the Tagliamento and Stella river systems, with flat agricultural land, canals, drainage ditches and scattered villages. The nearest larger town is Latisana, which provides rail access, supermarkets and routine services; Udine is the main city for higher-level services. The Adriatic coast around Lignano Sabbiadoro is outside the immediate landscape and does not change the character of the area. The area is known for intensive farming and vineyard country across the Friuli plain.
