See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed as a judicial auction (ASTA), which is a legal-risk veto for our scoring. Estimating €200/m² for works (€28,800 total) makes the effective price ≈ €579/m² vs local median €516/m², so after renovation it is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable two-level villino with good arched windows, wooden stair and tiled floors — a comfortable home you could move into but would want to refresh. Pleasant treed street and a modest countryside glimpse from the balcony; sold at auction so expect legal checks.
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€10,000 – €16,000
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.
- Property is sold at auction — legal/title due diligence required
- Interior and bathroom finishes are dated and will need cosmetic updating
- Very limited private outdoor space shown and no nearby sea view (inland town)
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 56/100Candela sits in the Daunian Mountains hinterland, in the rolling inland hills on the Puglia–Campania border. The Ofanto river basin is the main natural frame of this part of western Foggia province. The nearest larger town is Foggia, which provides the main rail links, hospitals and wider services, while Melfi in Basilicata is also a significant nearby centre with a historic old town and castle. This area is known for wheat country and inland hill villages rather than for a single protected or nationally famous landscape.
