More on the house and the area
This is a solid, conventional 1980s terraced villa with usable floors, bathrooms, heating, a small outdoor area, and parking, but it has little architectural character or memorable scenery. The house appears habitable rather than derelict, though it needs cleaning, cosmetic renovation, and investigation of visible damp or wall deterioration.
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 purchase requires careful review of the court documentation and occupancy/legal status.
- Interiors look dated and show staining or possible damp around walls and floors.
- The kitchen is not shown, and the exterior garden is noticeably overgrown.
- Access is via a steep, rough residential road.
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 lies in the Sabina hills, with low Apennine relief and a landscape of olive groves, wooded ridges and small valleys. The area is close to the middle course of the Tiber basin, and daily life is shaped more by hill country than by any large plain. Monte Navegna and Monte Cervia and the Monti Sabini are the main mountain massifs in the wider immediate area, with the Monti Lucretili not far to the south-west. The Riserva Naturale Monte Navegna e Monte Cervia is within reach of this part of eastern Sabina. Rieti is the nearest town of size, with full services and a historic centre. The area is known for Sabina olive oil, including the Sabina DOP production zone.
