What it really costs
- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction with a €42,700 minimum bid, which is a mandatory trap-level veto under the catalog rules. The stated 11,303 m² appears to be mostly agricultural land, while the actual dwelling area is unspecified and the listing warns that images and coordinates may be indicative.
More on the house and the area
The traditional stone construction and roughly 1.13 hectares of olive and almond land suggest an appealing rural Puglian project. However, it is a single-room rustico requiring renovation, with no documented utilities or living facilities, so it is currently more a restoration opportunity than a home someone could realistically live in.
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€4,476,000 – €6,612,000
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.
- This is a one-room stone lamia requiring renovation, not a move-in-ready home.
- No heating, air conditioning, bathroom, kitchen, or other usable systems are documented.
- The listing warns that images may be indicative and may not show the actual property.
- Auction and pre-1967 legality details should be verified through the full survey and documents.
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.
