This is a judicial auction (Benevento RGE 35/2023), so sale conditions differ from a normal listing. Treated as habitable with an estimated €200/m² rehab → effective price ≈ €99,420 (~€447/m²) vs regional baseline €417/m²; the ad also states photos are non‑real placeholders.
More on the house and the area
Clean, recently-updated interiors and a handsome period facade make this feel like a very livable, affordable place. However the ad warns the images are illustrative and there’s no photo of the actual rural land/annexes, so verify the real condition, layout and services before proceeding.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
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 indicative and may not show the actual property — verify real photos/planimetries.
- Description mentions a rural farmhouse with land but the supplied photos show an urban apartment facade and interiors — no land or farm outbuildings are pictured.
- Data fields are inconsistent (bathrooms listed as 0.0, energy class missing) — confirm utilities, number of bathrooms and legal status before bidding.
- No photos of the exterior/site, views or the alleged private courtyard/land — you must inspect to confirm setting and access.
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 56/100This is hill country on the eastern side of Irpinia, with cultivated ridges and small valleys in the basin of the Ufita and Calore systems. The nearest named mountain landscape is the southern Apennines around the Partenio and Picentini groups, but they are outside the immediate 15 km setting. Ariano Irpino is the nearest larger centre, with shops, services and a substantial historic core on its ridge. The wider area is known for grain farming, olive groves and inland Campania hill villages.
