Listing is a judicial auction and the text states the building is unfinished and without systems despite a 'Renovated' tag. At €18,149 plus estimated €1,100/m² finishing (~€129,800) the effective price is ~€1,254/m² vs regional median €406/m², making this a high-risk auction purchase.
More on the house and the area
Solid, thick-walled village house with a good roofline, balcony, small private garden and pleasing mountain views — very photogenic from the outside. However it’s offered as a raw shell with no fittings or services, so it’s a renovation project rather than a move-in home; a good bargain if you’re prepared to do a full internal rebuild.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€47,000 – €69,000
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.
- Listed and photographed as a rustico/unfinished shell: no internal finishes, likely no plumbing or electrical.
- Windows/doors are missing/boarded and interior condition is unknown — requires full renovation (floors, bathrooms, kitchen).
- Street access is via narrow village lanes; check local permits for conversion and use.
- Photos show external fabric and roof in place but structural and services surveys are recommended.
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 68/100The cluster sits on the pre-Alpine slopes between the Valle Imagna and the hills above the Bergamo plain, with broad views toward the Orobie to the north. The Brembo valley is nearby, and the western edge of the Parco dei Colli di Bergamo lies close by around Monte Canto and the wooded ridge system above the city. The nearest substantial town is Bergamo, which has a large historic upper town, full services, rail connections and the airport at Orio al Serio beyond it. This part of the Bergamasque foothills is known for wooded ridges, small mountain villages and walking routes rather than for a single landmark of national rank.
