See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is being sold at a judicial auction and the listing notes a cadastral A/10 classification with an abusive conversion to housing, so legal habitability is unclear; price €89,438 (€274/m²) is below the regional median (€317/m²) but the auction and title issues make it high-risk—review tribunal documents before proceeding.
More on the house and the area
Large, roofed first‑floor unit in a plain 1980s building that is usable but looks like stored/leftover commercial space rather than a finished home. The price and size are attractive, but expect clearing, refit and possible legal regularisation before it becomes a comfortable residential property.
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€21,000 – €36,000
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 an auction lot and description notes internal conversion from office to residential done abusively — legal regularisation may be required.
- Interior photos show cluttered/storage condition and likely need cleaning, refitting and finishing works; bathroom(s) are not evident in the images.
- Plain 1980s block on an ordinary residential/industrial street with no notable views or historic character.
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 74/100Monte Vulture rises immediately west of Melfi, an extinct volcanic massif that dominates this part of northern Basilicata. The Monticchio Lakes sit on the Vulture within about 15 km, in volcanic craters surrounded by woodland. The Vulture area includes the Vulture regional natural reserve around Monticchio. Melfi is a substantial hill town with a large medieval castle and a preserved historic centre, and it is one of the main centres of the Vulture area. The area is known for volcanic terrain, chestnut woods and Aglianico del Vulture wine.
