- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction property, which makes it a trap for this catalog regardless of the €14,230 starting offer. Although listed as renovated at €44/m², the description says the general condition is poor and the effective cost could be substantially higher than the €310/m² local comparison point.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large rural farmhouse with a private courtyard, terrace, trees, autonomous heating, and an exceptionally low auction price. However, the presentation is visually weak and the house is explicitly described as poorly maintained, so it feels more like a renovation opportunity than a ready-to-live-in Italian dream home.
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€129,000 – €190,000
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 describes generally poor maintenance and substantial renovation potential despite the 1991 refurbishment.
- Interior livability is not demonstrated by the gallery; the advertised bathroom and utilities should be verified.
- Access is via an unpaved rural road, and the property is being sold through a court auction.
- The exterior image is blurry and the listing warns that images may be indicative rather than current.
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 59/100The area sits on low inland hills above the lower Biferno basin, with the Adriatic coast around Termoli reachable in about 15 km. The Biferno river plain shapes the landscape below the town. Larino itself has a substantial historic centre and a Roman amphitheatre, and it is known in Molise for its cathedral and for olive-growing countryside. Termoli is the nearest larger coastal town, with a port, rail station and services.
