Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (cannot be treated as a normal sale), so auction status alone forces a trap verdict. Listed €24,762 for 274 m² (≈€90/m²) and an estimated renovation €700/m² gives an effective ≈€790/m² (above the regional median €583/m²); the ad also says photos are illustrative and the property's condition is not stated.
More on the house and the area
The images suggest a very handsome interior style and a solid brick townhouse façade, and the facts list a generous private courtyard/garden and multiple garages — a rare size/price bargain. Because this is an auction listing with non‑specific photos and an uncertain condition, expect some due diligence and likely works before move‑in.
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€54,000 – €96,000
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.
- Photos in the listing are illustrative/not the actual property — verify real images and plans.
- Property sold at auction — check legal status and purchase process.
- Condition of the building is unclear from the dossier; may require renovation or paperwork (utilities, permits).
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Volsci hill country above the Sacco and Amaseno valleys, with the Monti Ausoni and Monti Lepini close to the west and southwest. The Amaseno valley and its farmland are part of the immediate landscape, and the Tyrrhenian coast around Terracina and Sperlonga is outside the 15 km radius. The nearest larger centres are Frosinone and Ceccano for everyday services, while Priverno lies nearby on the route toward the Lepini. The area is known for olive groves, hill villages and views across the inland valleys of southern Lazio.
