- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial-auction listing (legal/process risk). At €69,815 plus estimated €700/m² renovation (~€124,600) the effective price is ≈€1,092/m², well above the regional median €701/m², so it’s not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
The gallery shows bright, modern-looking interiors (kitchen, bathroom, airy loft) that feel stylish and roomy, and the price per sqm is a clear bargain for the size. However the listing flags the unit as needing renovation and the exterior is an ordinary city block, so plan for refurbishment and confirm the real condition/photos before getting excited.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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 the images are indicative/stock and may not be photos of the actual unit.
- Property condition is listed as "Needs renovation" — expect real repair/upgrade work despite the polished photos.
- Exterior shots show a dense urban block with no scenic views or private garden shown; outdoor space is unclear.
- Verify real photos, floorplans, and legal/utility status 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 55/100The area sits on the Murge plateau, with open limestone countryside, cereal fields, pasture and patches of oak woodland typical of the Alta Murgia. Alta Murgia National Park lies partly within daily surroundings to the north-west, and the landscape around the town is part of the wider karst plateau of sinkholes, dry valleys and rocky ground. Matera is the nearest major historic city, with the Sassi and full services, at roughly 25 km. The area is known for grain farming, livestock and the bread and meat traditions of the Murgia interior.
