Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (legal/transfer risk) with a low bid price €19,530; assuming habitable condition (~€200/m²) gives an effective price ≈€44,730 (≈€355/m²) vs regional baseline €585/m². The listing also has a data contradiction (description mentions a bathroom but baths=0), reducing reliability—auction status makes this unsuitable for a normal purchase.
More on the house and the area
This is a 126 m² independent ground‑floor house (2 bedrooms, kitchen with fireplace, mezzanine) with an external cellar (18.6 m²) and a large private courtyard/garden (900 m²). The €19.5k auction price is a clear bargain and the outdoor space is a strong plus, but the lack of photos and missing condition details mean expect to verify and likely carry out repairs before moving in.
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€8,000 – €14,000
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.
- No interior or exterior photos provided — visual condition and character unverified.
- Actual condition, utilities and heating status unclear; consult the perizia and inspect before bidding.
- Property sold at auction: purchase will be 'as is' and requires legal/technical due diligence.
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 68/100The area sits in the upper Aniene valley on the Lazio-Abruzzo border, with the Simbruini mountains close by. The Aniene river runs through this stretch of valley, and the Monti Simbruini Regional Park begins a short distance to the south and east. The nearest ski lifts are the small Campo Staffi lifts above Filettino, roughly an hour away by mountain road, so they are not part of the immediate setting. Subiaco is the nearest town of note in the valley, with the Benedictine monasteries of Santa Scolastica and Sacro Speco. This part of eastern province of Rome is known for wooded limestone mountains, river gorges and fortified hill villages.
