What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction at €65,490 for only 20 m² (€3,274/m²), currently an unfinished shell without internal finishes, complete systems, heating, or occupancy certification. Estimated completion cost is about €1,100/m², and the auction/legal and indicative-photo disclaimers add material uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is an independent multi-level building in a town setting, but the gallery proves no appealing exterior, interior, view, or historic character. It is an unfinished 2007 shell requiring substantial completion and renovation before it can function as a home, so the €65,490 asking price does not create a convincing wow effect.
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€8,000 – €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.
- Unfinished shell with no internal finishes, complete utilities, heating, bathroom, or kitchen.
- Not currently habitable and lacks an occupancy certificate.
- Only 20 m² is stated despite the building extending across multiple levels; verify the measured floor area and layout.
- The gallery contains promotional slides rather than photographs proving the property's actual appearance or views.
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 72/100The cluster is on the Murgia plateau near the Gravina di Laterza, a deep limestone ravine that is part of the Terra delle Gravine Regional Natural Park. The area is known for karst landscape, ravines, steppe-like pasture and cereal fields. Laterza has a substantial historic centre and is known for maiolica ceramics and bread. Matera lies nearby and adds daily services and major historic fabric, but it is outside the immediate landscape being scored.
