Despite the very low €19,920 asking price (€131/m² versus €371/m² for comparable homes), this property is explicitly sold through a judicial auction, which is a decisive risk. The listing also contradicts its “Renovated” label by stating that the 152 m² house needs renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, intact three-story village house with functioning-looking bathrooms, kitchen, heating and traditional wooden doors and shutters. It has modest historic-borgo character, but no dramatic views or outdoor space, and the interiors need cosmetic updating and investigation of damp and building condition. The very low auction price is the main attraction rather than a strong visual wow factor.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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 purchase with separate legal and procedural risks.
- Interiors are usable but visibly dated, with peeling paint, damp staining and likely renovation needs.
- No private garden, terrace, parking or notable view is shown.
- The listing is internally inconsistent about condition, calling it both renovated and in need of renovation.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Irpinian foothills at the western edge of the Apennines, with ridges rising immediately inland around Monteforte and Mercogliano. The Partenio Regional Park lies within this radius on the Monte Partenio massif. The nearest ski area is Campo di Laceno, well beyond the local radius and roughly an hour or more by road, so it is not part of the immediate setting. Avellino is the nearest town of size, with city services, rail connections via the wider area, and commercial zones toward the valley. The area is known for wooded mountain slopes, chestnut country, and the inland Campania hills between the Sabato valley and the road corridor toward Naples.
