This is a judicial-auction listing (Tribunale Castrovillari), so it cannot be bought as a normal sale. Price €73,022 for 210 m2; estimated renovation €200/m2 → €42,000, effective €115,022 (~€548/m2) which is above the regional baseline €425/m2; the listing also states the photos are only indicative.
More on the house and the area
Spacious 3-level, ~210 m² unit with clean, recently‑finished-looking interiors and a bright living room that feels liveable now. The building exterior shows peeling plaster and will need work; this is an auction sale so expect administrative steps.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Exterior façade and common areas appear run-down and will need renovation.
- Listing states images are indicative — some photos may not show the actual unit.
- Property is an auction lot (RGE) — purchase requires auction/legal procedures.
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.
