This is a judicial auction (minimum bid €15,540) and the house is abandoned with incomplete systems and rising damp, so full renovation is needed (~€700/m² → €78,400). That yields an effective cost ≈ €93,940 or ≈ €839/m² versus the regional median €371/m², making it a high‑risk auction purchase.
More on the house and the area
Simple two‑storey concrete house (112 sqm cadastral) with a fenced 365 sqm garden and pleasant hilly/valley views. Structurally intact and roofed but abandoned — floors and rooms are present; however it needs significant refurbishment (electrics/plumbing, damp remediation and installation of heating) before being fully liveable.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster is in the Irpinian inland hills on the eastern side of the Picentini range, with wooded ridges and farmed slopes in the surrounding Calore valley. The Calore Irpino river runs through this part of the province. Within about 15 km the main centre is Montella, which has a substantial historic core and services, and Bagnoli Irpino is another hill town nearby. This area is known for chestnuts and hazelnuts, especially the Montella chestnut. The Monti Picentini Regional Park lies nearby and shapes the surrounding mountain landscape, but the more dramatic high ridges are not right at the village.
