Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction (sale under enforcement) which is a significant legal/risk flag. Price €27,000 plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (€60,000) yields an effective €87,000 total (~€290/m²) vs regional median ~€424/m², but the auction status makes the listing a high-risk trap.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

A tidy, recently rendered two‑storey townhouse that looks structurally sound and immediately habitable; simple exterior and a small terrace courtyard give it practical charm. Lacks historic features or dramatic views in the photos, so it’s more a low-cost, liveable home than a romantic dream house — verify interior condition and services before bidding.

Updating, not renovation
€60,000 – €86,000

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€20,000 – €34,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • No interior photos provided — layout, number of bathrooms and finish level are unclear (listing shows 0.0 baths).
  • Small paved courtyard with visible communal bins — limited private garden/amenity space and close neighbours.
  • Several aerial/panoramic images in the gallery appear illustrative and may not represent the immediate property or exact views — verify location and outlook.
  • Confirm utilities and heating connections despite visible external air‑conditioning unit; check legal/title details for the half-undivided courtyard.

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 68/100

The Maiella massif rises to the west, with the eastern foothills and limestone valleys within this area. The Aventino valley is nearby, and the Sangro valley is also close in this part of inland Chieti. The Maiella National Park begins a short distance inland and is the main protected landscape affecting this area. The nearest ski lifts are on the Passolanciano-Majelletta side of the Maiella, roughly an hour by road. The nearest larger town is Lanciano, which has a substantial historic centre, services, and rail links toward the coast. This part of Abruzzo is known for hill villages, pastoral mountain country, and olive groves and vineyards on the lower slopes.
