See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (listing in asta) and the text describes severe structural decay and no services; I estimate renovation at €1,100/m² → €77,000 work on 70 m², so effective cost ≈ €79,690 (~€1,140/m²) versus local baseline €385/m². The the listing label “Renovated” contradicts the perizia; auction status and major rebuild needs make this a high-risk buy.
More on the house and the area
Pictures show a very photogenic, overgrown stone/brick building in a quiet agricultural setting but the fabric is in poor, unstable condition. This is a project/rudere despite the tiny price — not move-in ready and needs extensive structural and services work.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €41,000
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.
- Major structural and roof problems; survey recommends specialist inspection.
- No internal floors, finishes or detectable utilities (electric/water/sewer).
- Vegetation has invaded and hidden the interiors, increasing remediation costs.
- Property is essentially semi-derelict — requires full rebuild/renovation to be habitable.
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 58/100The cluster sits on the southern edge of Umbria close to the regional/Tuscan/Lazio border, with the A1 (Autostrada del Sole) and the Fabro/Fabro Scalo road-rail corridor nearby (motorway exit and a station on the main north–south rail line). The immediate landscape is low, cultivated hills with mixed arable, olive groves and some vineyard plots typical of southern Umbria/northern Tuscany. The nearest larger town is Orvieto, which offers a cathedral (Duomo), a regional rail connection, shops, services and hospitals. The area is within the broader zone known for Etruscan archaeology and for wines and olive oil production tied to the Orvieto/Valdichiana area. There are no major national parks or high mountains inside the immediate 15 km radius; the terrain is rural and agricultural with good road and rail links to regional centres.
