See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (ASTA), which is a transaction veto and requires specialist legal checks. Listing price €63,659 plus estimated €200/m² renovation (€36,800) gives an effective €100,459 (~€546/m²) vs regional median €317/m².
More on the house and the area
A solid 1980s villa with terraces, garage and a private garden — habitable now but visibly dated. Good size and pleasant hill views, offered at a very attractive auction price; ideal for someone who wants a liveable home that needs cosmetic refresh and systems checks.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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.
- Dated interiors and fixtures — cosmetic updating recommended
- Photos show clutter/storage; some rooms need clearing and repairs
- Property sold at auction — verify title, costs and procedure with a lawyer
- Energy class unknown; heating/installation likely need modernisation
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Potenza, so the lived setting is an inland hill city rather than open countryside. The Lucanian Apennines surround the area, with wooded ridges and valleys visible around the city. The Basento valley runs through this part of the province. The nearest larger centre is Potenza itself, the regional capital, with services, shops, schools, rail links and hospitals.
