- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (legal/transfer risks) and part of the unit is under a municipal evacuation order, plus the ad warns photos are not actual—so buy with caution. Price €27,840 + estimated €200/m² work (107 m²) → ≈€49,240 total (~€460/m²), roughly in line with the regional baseline, but the auction status makes this a trap for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
The photos show fresh, modern interiors and a tidy bathroom that feel move‑in ready for an affordable town apartment. However this is an ordinary urban block and a municipal evacuation order affecting part of the unit plus the use of stock/indicative images mean you must verify the real condition and legal status before proceeding.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Listing notes an official evacuation and prohibition of use for the first‑floor dining/kitchen area — check legal/occupancy status.
- Advert states the photos are indicative/stock and may not show the real property — verify current interior condition and finishes.
- Urban setting with no notable view or private garden; ground-level paved area and street-facing balcony only.
- Property being sold at auction — confirm title, debts and extra costs before bidding.
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 71/100The cluster is in the Tronto valley at the foot of the Monti della Laga and close to the Sibillini and Gran Sasso-Abruzzo Apennine systems. The Tronto river runs through the area. Within about 15 km there is the old centre of Ascoli Piceno, with Piazza del Popolo, travertine streets and churches, and the hill town of Offida is also nearby; Offida is in I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of southern Marche is known for olive ascolane and Rosso Piceno wine. The Adriatic coast around San Benedetto del Tronto is farther away and does not define the immediate landscape.
