In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
- Only a share of the property is for sale
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction lot (the text explicitly advertises an asta) and the package includes fractional land quotas, so it’s not a regular free-market sale. I estimate €200/m² renovation → effective price ≈ €50,574 (≈€303/m²) vs regional baseline €520/m²; the listing also warns the photos are not the real property.
More on the house and the area
A real bargain: some rooms (modern bathroom, fresh floors/doors) are move-in ready, while other spaces show original wood floors, wallpaper and neglect and will need renovation. Functional street-side villa with paved yard/parking rather than scenic land — liveable but expect targeted works and energy upgrades.
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€11,000 – €19,000
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.
- Mixed condition: some rooms look newly renovated while others are tired/partly abandoned and need work
- Urban, street-facing location with no scenic views; yard is paved parking only
- Low energy class (G) — expect poor insulation/heating costs
- Property sold at auction; photos in the ad may be indicative, verify real interior and planimetry before bidding
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 25/100This is the flat Tavoliere plain around Foggia, with large-scale arable farmland and a dense network of roads, rail lines and industrial and logistics areas around the city. The urban area of Foggia itself is a regional service centre with a railway hub, university facilities, hospitals and major retail. The Gargano promontory and the Daunia mountains are farther out and do not define the landscape within about 15 km.
