The listing explicitly states “ASTA IMMOBILIARE” and that the property is occupied, making this a judicial-auction purchase with significant legal and possession risk. Although €144/m² is far below the €377/m² regional baseline, the auction veto overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-level villa with a generous balcony, garden-like surroundings, garage and cellar offers a real, usable home at an unusually low price per square metre. The house is clearly lived-in and functional, but its dated finishes, clutter, and lack of a striking view or standout architectural character keep it in the charming rather than dream-home category.
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 – €31,000
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 property and currently occupied; possession and timing require verification.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, cluttered, and likely need cosmetic modernization.
- Verify the legal/urban-planning documentation, utilities, and the reported bathroom count before bidding.
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 56/100The cluster lies on the upper Friulian plain at the foot of the Carnic Prealps, with the first mountain ridges rising north around the Meduna valley and the Valcellina area. The Meduna river system shapes this part of western Friuli, with broad gravel beds and irrigated plain country between the foothills and the lowland. Within daily practical range the nearest larger town is Pordenone, which provides the main services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. Maniago, closer to the north, is the main small town for the foothill belt and is known for its long tradition of knife-making. The area is known more broadly for the transition from stony Friulian plain to prealpine valleys than for a single landmark inside the immediate radius.
