This is a judicial auction listing. At €27,373 plus estimated €700/m² renovation (236 m²) the effective cost is ~€192,600 (~€816/m²) versus the local median €417/m², so this would be an expensive, high-risk auction purchase and the ad even warns the photos are not the real ones.
More on the house and the area
Very large, bright interior spaces with modern finishes feel like a move-in‑ready home, and at this price the size is a real bargain. However the building exterior and some completion paperwork appear unfinished and it’s an auction sale, so expect renovation/administrative work before full occupancy.
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€47,000 – €83,000
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.

- Property sold at auction — expect legal/administrative complexity and buy-as-is terms
- Described as 'needs renovation' and exterior/common areas show peeling plaster — façade and shared courtyard need work
- Verify utilities, finishes and whether the shown interiors are fully completed
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 68/100The cluster sits at the western edge of the Fucino basin, with the central Apennines rising immediately around it.

Avezzano is the nearest town of size, with rail links, shops and services. Tagliacozzo is nearby and has a preserved historic centre. The area is known for the Battle of Tagliacozzo and for agriculture on the reclaimed Fucino plain.
