See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €15,975 asking price looks low, but this is a judicial auction rather than a normal purchase, with an estimated renovation cost of about €46,200 for 66 m². The description also notes an uninhabited rural property and a non-usable WC, adding substantial execution and habitability risk.
More on the house and the area
The townhouse has genuine historic character, with a handsome stone façade, arched openings, a rooftop terrace, and a charming old-town setting. However, the interior is an uninhabited renovation project with rough surfaces, deteriorated structure, and no usable bathroom, so it is not currently a realistically livable home despite the very low price.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €23,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Uninhabited and in substantial renovation condition.
- No usable bathroom is shown or described; the existing WC is explicitly impractical.

- Auction purchase requires careful legal, technical, and access due diligence.
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.
