- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction sale (legal/procedural risk). With an estimated renovation ~700 €/m² the effective price is ~906 €/m² vs regional baseline 417 €/m², and the listing warns images are not real and shows contradictory room/bath data.
More on the house and the area
Bright, large attic-style living space with skylights, a brick feature wall and mostly finished floors give this a photogenic interior. It’s a real bargain at the auction price but is listed as needing renovation and sits in a plain apartment block — expect renovation work and careful due diligence before buying.
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€40,000 – €71,000
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 is sold at auction — expect legal/bureaucratic steps and potential delays
- Listing states 'needs renovation' despite finished-looking photos — plumbing/heating/electrics may need work
- No private garden or notable exterior/views shown; building is a multi-unit block
- Advert warns some images may be indicative/not the actual property
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 cluster is in the Fucino basin, a broad inland plain enclosed by the central Apennines, with the Velino-Sirente mountains to the north and the Abruzzo ranges around the Marsica to the south and east. Nearby is the former bed of Lake Fucino, now reclaimed farmland that defines the landscape around Ortucchio. The Parco naturale regionale Sirente-Velino begins within this wider mountain setting to the north. The nearest ski areas are on Monte Magnola above Ovindoli and at Campo Felice, both roughly about an hour by road depending on conditions. Avezzano is the nearest sizeable town, with rail links, shops and services. The area is known for the drained Fucino plain and its intensive agriculture.
