This is a judicial-auction property, which carries significant purchasing and legal-process risks regardless of its €213/m² asking basis. The 237 m² house has only sufficient maintenance and documented rising damp and condensation in the basement; renovation costs could be substantial.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable country home with a kitchen, two bedrooms, bathrooms, heating, balcony, and a large garden overlooking attractive Irpinian hills. The setting and outdoor space create real everyday-living appeal, while the interiors are serviceable rather than especially beautiful. The 44% auction discount is attractive, but damp in the semibasement and the unusual wastewater/access arrangements require careful due diligence.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€47,000 – €83,000
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.
- Semibasement rooms have rising damp and condensation.
- The property is not connected to the public sewer; wastewater uses a septic tank on another property.
- Access is via a pedestrian path crossing the exclusive courtyard.
- The home is functional but visually plain and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
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.
