This is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE listing, which is an automatic veto regardless of the €49,800 price. The facts call it a 62 m² habitable villa, but the description identifies an apartment plus a separate 35 m² commercial unit, creating a material contradiction.
More on the house and the area
A practical, lived-in two-bedroom home in a central San Salvo setting, with a working-looking fireplace, kitchen, heating, balcony and an unusually valuable attached commercial space. It is habitable rather than beautiful, with dated finishes and no garden or notable view, but the €49,800 price for both residential and commercial areas creates strong bargain appeal.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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 appears livable but dated, with cluttered interiors and worn finishes.
- The listing states 0 bathrooms despite a bathroom appearing in the photos; verify the full property layout and included commercial unit.
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 51/100The Adriatic coast is within the local area, with the beach strip of San Salvo Marina and the mouth of the Trigno nearby. This is the southern Abruzzo littoral: flat coastal ground backed by low cultivated hills rather than a mountain setting. The nearest larger centre is Vasto, which has a substantial historic town on a bluff above the sea, a marina and everyday services. The area is known for seaside tourism, agriculture on the coastal plain and hill slopes, and the port-industrial zone around the lower coast.
