This is a judicial auction and the building has serious irregularities and water/mould issues; estimated works €700/m² → renovation ≈ €155,400, giving an effective price ≈ €1,064/m² versus local baseline €417/m², so high hidden cost and legal risk.
More on the house and the area
Photos show ordinary, recently tiled interiors and a modern multi‑unit exterior but no scenic view or historic features. The listing describes real fabric and legal problems (damp, mould, non‑conforming works) so this is a budget project rather than a move‑in dream home.
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€44,000 – €78,000
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 61/100The cluster sits on the low hills between the Adriatic coast and the first rises toward the Maiella massif, with the mountain range visible in clear weather but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Foro river runs nearby and reaches the Adriatic at Francavilla al Mare. Within roughly 15 km are the coast at Francavilla al Mare and Ortona, with beaches and a working port. Chieti is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre, services, a university presence and museums. The area is known for vineyards and olive groves in the coastal hills, including Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine production.
