See what needs doing and what each job costs
This property is a judicial auction (occupied), which is a legal/risk veto. Price €40,343 for 280 m² = €144/m²; with ~€200/m² renovation the effective cost is ≈€96,343 (~€344/m²) versus the regional median €375/m², but the auction/occupation risk makes it a trap.
More on the house and the area
Solid 1980s villa with broad covered balconies and a strip of garden/land, offering real outdoor space and good bones. Interiors are lived-in but dated, with signs of damp and an unfinished attic — move-in possible after cleaning and moderate renovation, making this a good-value project for someone wanting space at a low price.
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€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Property is occupied and sold at auction – legal/possession checks necessary
- Visible damp/mould stains in at least one bedroom — likely moisture repairs needed
- Outdated bathrooms/kitchen and general cosmetic updating required
- Top floor/soffitta is at grezzo (unfinished)
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 56/100The cluster lies on the upper Friulian plain at the foot of the Carnic Prealps, with the first mountain ridges rising north around the Meduna valley and the Valcellina area. The Meduna river system shapes this part of western Friuli, with broad gravel beds and irrigated plain country between the foothills and the lowland. Within daily practical range the nearest larger town is Pordenone, which provides the main services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. Maniago, closer to the north, is the main small town for the foothill belt and is known for its long tradition of knife-making. The area is known more broadly for the transition from stony Friulian plain to prealpine valleys than for a single landmark inside the immediate radius.
