See what needs doing and what each job costs
Property is offered via a judicial auction (Tribunale Foggia) and is burdened by a right of usufruct, creating significant legal complexity; the ad also warns images are only indicative. At €36,492 for 436 m² the legal/auction obstacles make this unsuitable as a straightforward purchase.
More on the house and the area
The photos show bright, newly finished rooms and a modern bathroom so part of the palazzina is immediately liveable. However a full upper floor is left as a shell and the building is being sold at auction with usufruct, so expect legal complexity and further renovation to make the entire property a comfortable 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€86,000 – €153,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Second floor left 'al grezzo' (unfinished) — only part of the building appears habitable.
- Sold at auction with a diritto di usufrutto (usufruct) — legal/possession limits and extra procedural steps.
- Large palazzina: despite finished rooms, substantial renovation/systems work likely for the whole property.
- Energy class G — inefficient, higher running costs likely.
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 63/100The cluster lies on the north side of the Tavoliere plain at the foot of the Gargano promontory. The Gargano is the main landscape feature within this radius, with limestone uplands rising just east of Apricena, and the edge of Gargano National Park begins nearby around San Marco in Lamis. The Adriatic coast is close, with the stretch around Rodi Garganico and Lesina farther north outside the immediate radius. Apricena is known above all for its limestone quarries and stone production.
