What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the €40,342 price is only €143/m², well below the €377/m² local comparison level, the listing explicitly concerns a judicial auction. Auction purchases carry legal, procedural, and occupancy risks that override the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-level Friuli townhouse with a pleasant covered porch, traditional shutters, timber entrance, and a distinctive arched doorway. It appears to be a real, usable home rather than a shell, but the design is fairly ordinary and the lack of interior photos limits confidence about its actual condition. The €143/m² pricing gives it strong value appeal, though not a true visual dream-home effect.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- The listing is a judicial auction, so legal, occupancy, and purchase-process checks are essential.
- The gallery shows very little of the interior; kitchen, bathrooms, services, and overall maintenance are not adequately documented.
- The facts list 0 bathrooms, while the description mentions two, so this needs verification.
- The large rural house may require modernization despite being described as habitable.
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 58/100The cluster is in the Meduna plain at the foot of the Friulian Prealps, with the mountains closing the northern horizon within this radius. The Meduna river corridor is the main natural feature nearby, with broad stony beds and gravelly farmland typical of this part of western Friuli. The nearest substantial town is Spilimbergo, which has a preserved historic centre and is known for the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli. Maniago is also nearby and is known for knife-making. This is part of the transition from the upper Friulian plain to the prealpine valleys rather than a protected or formally designated landscape.
