- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('asta') — sold via court procedure, not a normal transfer, which is a veto for our scoring. Price €17,000 plus estimated €700/m² renovation (~€136,500) gives total ~€153,500 (≈€787/m²), well above the regional baseline €371/m².
More on the house and the area
A roomy 195 m² historic town house in the centro storico with terrace, fireplace and a small private garden — plus functioning heating and utilities. It’s a genuine auction bargain but the building is in mediocre condition and will need renovation; suitable for someone who wants a characterful, liveable home after works.
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€39,000 – €69,000
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.

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 56/100The area is in the Sannio hills, with cultivated ridges, small woods and stream valleys typical of the upper Fortore-Tammaro interior. The Fortore uplands and the Molise Apennine relief are the main mountain backdrop within this part of the province. The nearest larger centre is Benevento, which provides the main rail services, hospitals and a fuller range of shops and administration. This part of inland Sannio is known for grain fields, olive groves, livestock farming and small hill villages with medieval street plans.
