See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta'), which is an automatic veto for this catalog despite the low ask of €20,990. The listing also contradicts the the listing condition 'Renovated': the text says the property is in poor condition, needs renovation, and has a partially unfinished first-floor extension.
More on the house and the area
This is a very low-cost detached house with decent size and basic livability: there is a kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom and roof in place. But the wow factor is minimal visually, and the setting on a roadside plot is not dreamy. It feels more like a practical fixer-upper than a beautiful Italian home to fantasize about living in.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €57,000
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.
- Set directly on a busy main road, so noise/privacy are weak.
- General condition looks poor despite being basically usable, with damp/stains and neglected rooms.
- Part of the upper-floor extension is unfinished/al grezzo.
- Auction sale: checks on paperwork, occupancy and full costs are essential.
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 74/100The Gran Sasso massif rises immediately west of Montorio al Vomano, with the Monti della Laga to the north-west, and the town sits in the upper Vomano valley at the foot of the Abruzzo Apennines. The river is the Vomano. The Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park begins nearby in the mountain sector above the valley. The nearest ski area is Prati di Tivo on the Gran Sasso side, roughly a 40-minute drive depending on the starting point in the comune. Teramo is the nearest town of size, with services, a cathedral and the provincial administrative functions. The wider area is known for access to Gran Sasso mountain country, hill villages on the Teramo side of the Apennines, and sheep-grazing and mountain food traditions typical of inland Abruzzo.
