In the listingNeeds renovation- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction listing with unregularized (abusive) works; asking €26,250 (€221/m²). Adding estimated renovation/regularization €800/m² yields an effective ~€1,020/m² vs regional median €701/m², so legal/auction risks and hidden costs make this unsuitable for a clean buy.
More on the house and the area
Bright, modern-looking interiors and new finishes make this feel like a move‑in‑friendly apartment, and the price is very low for the space. However the building exterior is an ordinary courtyard block and the sale notes renovation needs and unauthorized works, so expect legal/repair work and confirm the real condition and photos before bidding.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €42,000
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.

- Listing states images are indicative and may not be the actual photos.
- Property description: 'needs renovation' and lists un‑sanated/unauthorized works.
- Exterior photos show an anonymous inner courtyard — no scenic view or private garden.
- No bathrooms are documented in the facts (baths = 0).
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 31/100This is the Tavoliere plain, with flat agricultural land around Orta Nova and long, open fields shaped by wheat and other arable farming. The Carapelle river runs through this part of the plain. Foggia is the nearest city of size, with full services and rail connections. The area is known for broad cereal farmland and for wines from the wider Daunia plain.
