Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This 253 m², two-unit property has an €86,625 minimum bid, but it is being sold through a judicial auction, which creates substantial legal, financing, and transfer risks. The stated condition is habitable and the price is below the local €363/m² reference, but the auction status is a decisive red flag.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, independent 253 m² house with four bedrooms, two terraces, cellar space, functioning utilities, and attached outdoor areas. It appears realistically livable rather than a renovation shell, but the gallery provides no real property photos, views, or distinctive architectural character, so its beauty and true condition remain unproven.
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.
- Auction purchase with legal and procedural due diligence required.
- The condition is described only as habitable and in fair condition; no interior photos verify finishes or maintenance.
- Some attached land is agriculturally designated, and the listing notes that images may be indicative rather than of the actual property.
- The facts list does not confirm bathrooms despite the description stating two.
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.
