This is a judicial-auction listing (Tribunale/Cassino) so it carries auction/legal risks. Price €9,600 with estimated renovation €200/m² → effective €47,600 (~€251/m²) vs regional median €583/m², but the court file omits the official area and the ad uses non-real/indicative photos.
More on the house and the area
Spacious (approx. 190 m²) ground-floor apartment that looks freshly renovated with bright, contemporary interiors and new-looking flooring — clearly habitable. The extremely low price makes this a major bargain, but the ad warns the posted photos are only indicative, so verify real images, floorplan and bathroom/utility details before proceeding.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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.
- Listing states the photos are indicative and not the real images — request real photos and floorplans.
- No bathrooms shown in the provided facts/photos — confirm number and condition of bathrooms before bidding.
- Ground-floor apartment in a block — check natural light, privacy and noise, and verify the small courtyard/parking is private.
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 67/100The cluster lies in the Liri valley with the central Apennines close by, and the Monti Simbruini and Monti Ernici are the mountain frame of this part of southern Lazio. The river Liri runs through Sora. The Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise National Park begins a short distance to the east, around Pescasseroli and the upper Sangro area, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest ski area is Campo Staffi above Filettino, roughly an hour’s drive depending on road conditions. Sora is the nearest town of size and has a full service centre, rail station, and a compact historic core; nearby Isola del Liri is known for the waterfall formed by the Liri in the town centre. This area is known for the valley corridor between Lazio and Abruzzo and for olive groves and mixed hill farming on the lower slopes.
