See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction with a minimum bid of €86,625, so it is automatically treated as a trap despite the large 253 m² size and roughly €342/m² asking basis. The listing also contains conflicting information: the facts show no bathrooms, while the description states there are two.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large, independent 253 m² home with four bedrooms, two terraces, cellar space, and some outdoor land at a low advertised price per square metre. It is described as habitable with functioning utilities, but there is no proven architectural character, view, or photogenic setting—and the lack of real property photos makes the house difficult to dream about confidently.
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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- The listing provides no genuine interior or exterior property photographs, so visual appeal and actual condition cannot be verified.
- The home is sold through a judicial auction and requires careful review of the legal and cadastral documentation.
- The property is described as habitable and in fair condition, but likely needs updating; the land includes parcels with agricultural designation.
- The advertised price and property details contain minor inconsistencies, including the auction amount and bathroom count.
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 62/100The area lies on rolling inland hills a short distance from the Adriatic coast, with the Sangro valley to the south and the Maiella massif visible inland in clear weather but not within the immediate landscape radius. The nearest coast is the Trabocchi stretch of the Adriatic around San Vito Chietino and Fossacesia, with coves, low cliffs and old fishing platforms. The nearest town of size is Lanciano itself, which has a substantial historic centre, a cathedral, and the well-known Eucharistic Miracle sanctuary. The area is known for mixed farming, olive groves and vineyards, with Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine and olive oil in the wider surroundings.
