Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction listing (legal complexities) and therefore treated as a trap. Listed price €81,564 for 229 m²; assume €200/m² for habitable condition (~€45,800) giving an effective ≈€556/m², above regional median, but the auction status is the decisive issue.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

The gallery mixes fresh, modern-styled living spaces with a gloomy, worn bedroom and an ordinary block exterior, so there is some genuine liveable charm but inconsistent condition. The price (low €/m² for a large townhouse) is appealing, but verify real photos, planimetry and the state of all rooms before bidding.

Updating, not renovation
€46,000 – €65,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Photos look indicative/generic and may not show this exact unit
  • Some images show a dark, run-down bedroom — condition appears uneven
  • Exterior shots show a plain apartment-block courtyard, no scenic views shown

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 72/100

The area lies on the Adriatic side of Abruzzo between the low inland hills and the Costa dei Trabocchi coast on the Adriatic, with beaches and the old fishing trabocchi structures around Fossacesia, Rocca San Giovanni and San Vito Chietino within about 15 km. The Sangro river reaches the sea nearby at Marina di Fossacesia. The nearest town of size is Lanciano, which has a substantial historic centre, cathedral and services. The area is known for olive groves and vineyards on rolling hills close to the coast, and for the Trabocchi coast.
