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
The €15,187 asking figure is a judicial-auction minimum bid, not a normal purchase price, so the transaction carries auction procedure and bidding risks. The description says two bathrooms while the listing data records none, and the older finishes suggest roughly €200/m² for a habitable but dated home.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely affordable 105 sqm independent townhouse in Capranica’s historic center, with a fireplace, two bedrooms, two bathrooms according to the description, and autonomous systems. It sounds like a usable home rather than a ruin, but the property itself is barely photographed, so its visual charm, exact condition, and any views remain unproven.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Auction/pre-auction purchase involves legal and procedural risks.
- The gallery shows no interior or exterior photos of the actual house, so condition and character are not independently verified.
- The listing data conflicts on bathrooms: facts state 0, while the description states two.
- Renovation or modernization may be needed, as the finishes date from the 1970s–80s.
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 cluster sits in the Monti Sabatini, a volcanic hill area with broad wooded slopes and tufa ground. Lake Bracciano lies within this radius on the southeast side, and Lake Vico is just beyond it to the northwest. Much of the surrounding countryside is oak and chestnut woodland with farmed clearings, and the area is known for hazelnut cultivation. Sutri is the nearest historic town of note, with an old centre and the Roman amphitheatre cut into the tufa. The Palazzo Giustiniani Odescalchi at Bassano Romano is a local historic landmark.
