- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction listing (high legal/transfer risk). Listed at €49,425 with estimated renovation ~€700/m² → ~€61,600, giving an effective cost ≈€1,261/m² versus regional baseline €657/m², so it is not a bargain and auction risk makes it a trap.
More on the house and the area
Photos show bright, well‑finished interiors and a handsome historic townhouse façade with small private outdoor space — genuinely photogenic and livable in feel. However the legal listing is an auction lot needing renovation, so expect refurbishment, checks on utilities and internal connections before you can move in.
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€17,000 – €31,000
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Arezzo, so the lived setting is an urban edge on the Arno valley side rather than open countryside. The hills of the Tuscan Apennine foothills rise to the north and east, and the Valdichiana opens to the south-west. The Arno valley is nearby. Arezzo is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, the Basilica of San Francesco with Piero della Francesca frescoes, the Duomo, the Medici Fortress and a regular antiques fair. The city is known for gold jewellery production and for the Giostra del Saracino.
