Why this price is what it is

The ad explicitly markets the unit as a box/magazzino (storage/garage), so it is likely not legally usable as a dwelling and is a use-type veto. Price €17,000 (€340/m2) is below the regional baseline €417/m2, but the listing implies non-habitable status and gives only 2 photos, so treat as a trap.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Attractive old stone façade with classical details gives the building clear historic charm. Photos and the listing suggest the interior is used as a storage/box and will need major work to convert into a comfortable living home, but the price is very compelling.

Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €29,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Requires substantial renovation — likely a raw storage/garage inside
  • No private garden/terrace or notable view visible from photos
  • Small footprint (50 m²) so conversion to a full home will need careful planning
  • Check utilities and permissions for changing use from deposito/box to residential

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 57/100

The cluster sits on the Fucino plain under the Abruzzo Apennines, with Monte Velino and the Velino-Sirente group dominating the horizon to the north and east. It is close to the former basin of Lake Fucino, now a drained agricultural plain that still defines the landscape of this part of Marsica. The area is near the edge of the Sirente-Velino Regional Park. The nearest town of size is Avezzano, which has the main rail and road services for the Marsica area. This part of Abruzzo is known for the Fucino reclaimed plain and its intensive vegetable farming.
