See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction at a €15,975 minimum bid, not a normal sale. Despite being labelled renovated, the description says it needs complete renovation, has no systems or window frames, and includes a non-usable WC; estimated renovation cost is about €1,100/m².
More on the house and the area
The medieval-borgo setting and weathered stone façade offer genuine historic character, with a photogenic narrow-lane exterior. However, the 66 m² house is essentially an uninhabitable shell: the interior is deteriorated, the bathroom is unusable, utilities are absent, and complete renovation is required.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €39,000
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.
- This is a major renovation project, not a move-in-ready home.
- Interiors lack usable bathroom facilities, windows, utilities, flooring and finishes.
- The property has no heating or air conditioning and shows poor maintenance.
- Auction purchase requires careful checks of structural, legal and renovation costs.
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 68/100The Tiber runs by Nazzano, and the Tevere-Farfa Regional Nature Reserve lies here along the river with wetlands, river meanders and farmland. The Monti Sabini rise to the east within this radius. The nearest larger town is Fara in Sabina and, beyond it, the Rieti plain is the next inland basin of note; toward the south the Rome urban area is the main service centre but it is outside the local landscape. The area is known for the river reserve and birdlife.
