This is a judicial auction (Tribunale RGE) and the description says the units are abandoned and in poor repair; estimated renovation ~€700/m² gives an effective price ≈€77,381 total (~€889/m²), well above the regional baseline — auction status is a veto for a normal purchase.
More on the house and the area
The supplied images show very attractive, recently‑finished interiors (clean floors, modern bathroom) and a photogenic historic street facade. However the sale description warns the building is uninhabited and poorly maintained and the photos are generic — expect renovation work and confirm the real condition before assuming move‑in readiness.
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 – €30,000
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 states the photos are only indicative and may not show the actual property.
- Italian description says the units are disabitati and in a state of abandonment / poor maintenance — contradictory to the pictured condition.
- Facts list 0 bathrooms and other details conflict with the photos; verify real condition, utilities and legal status before bidding.
- Small inland town (35 km from the sea); exterior restoration or maintenance work may be required.
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 is at the foot of the Partenio Mountains, with Monte Partenio and the Montevergine massif close by. This area falls within the Partenio Regional Park. The nearest ski lifts are at Laceno, well beyond the 15 km radius and roughly an hour or more by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. The nearest larger towns are Avellino and Benevento, which provide the main services, rail links and larger shopping and administrative functions. The area is known for wooded mountain slopes above a settled valley corridor between the Irpinia interior and the Caserta plain.
