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
This is a judicial auction property, which is a mandatory veto regardless of the attractive €241/m² asking figure versus the €358/m² Abruzzo baseline. The home is described as habitable, but auction risks and legal/procedural complexity make it unsuitable for this catalog.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable two-level home with a large garden, rustic wood ceilings, outdoor space, and a glimpse toward the surrounding hills. Interiors are functional but dated and cluttered rather than beautiful, while the street-facing setting is ordinary. The very low price per square metre adds appeal, but the auction process and renovation needs keep it below the dream-home tier.
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€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.
- Auction purchase requires careful legal and occupancy due diligence.
- The home is habitable but visibly dated, cluttered, and likely needs cosmetic renovation.
- The exterior includes a substantial garden, but parts of the outbuildings and yard look basic and improvised.
- Bathroom count is listed as zero in the facts despite a bathroom visible in the photos.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of L’Aquila, so the lived setting is an inland city basin rather than open countryside. The Gran Sasso massif rises immediately to the northeast, with Campo Imperatore and the upper Aterno valley within the surrounding mountain ring. The area sits inside the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park on the city’s eastern and northern side. The nearest ski lifts are at Campo Felice and Campo Imperatore, both roughly 30–40 minutes by road depending on the starting point in the city. L’Aquila is the main town of inland Abruzzo, with a substantial historic centre, university, services and regional administrative functions. The area is known for its mountain setting, the Gran Sasso, and the Romanesque basilica of Collemaggio and the Fontana delle 99 Cannelle in the city.
