For property investors looking for opportunities in Rome, judicial auctions can provide access to assets at pricing levels that are difficult to find through the conventional residential market. One property currently deserving attention is the apartment at Via Carlo Galassi Paluzzi 3, in the established Aurelio–Baldo degli Ubaldi area of Rome.
The property is being offered through the Tribunal of Rome, Eighth Civil Section, as part of Judicial Division Proceeding No. 45387/2019. The sale is scheduled for 19 November 2026, with an auction base price of €503,750 and a permitted minimum offer of €377,812.50. The official notice states that the property is currently vacant, an important practical advantage for investors considering renovation, resale or rental strategies.
What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is not simply the apartment itself, but the combination of size, location, additional assets and entry price.
The principal apartment is situated on the third floor of a residential building constructed in the early 1970s. According to the court-appointed expert, it has a commercial area of approximately 151 square metres and includes an entrance hall, living room, three rooms, kitchen, two bathrooms, an additional service bathroom, two storage rooms, circulation areas and two balconies. The building also has an elevator and concierge service, while the common areas were described by the court expert as being in good condition.
Importantly, investors are not bidding only for the apartment. The single auction lot also includes two basement storage rooms and a covered parking space of 21 square metres. The court-appointed expert separately valued the parking space at €26,250 and the two cellars at €5,000 and €5,300 respectively. The total court valuation of the complete real-estate package was therefore €503,750.
The parking space is especially useful in a densely developed area of Rome. According to the expert inspection, its dimensions allow parking for a car and, given its configuration, additional motorcycles. For an investor, having parking and storage included alongside a large apartment can make the property more attractive to future owner-occupiers or long-term tenants.
A Price That Stands Out Against the Local Asking Market
The price comparison is perhaps the most compelling feature for investors.
Using the court expert’s 151 m² commercial area, the auction base price of €503,750 represents a simple headline ratio of approximately €3,336 per square metre. At the permitted minimum offer of €377,812.50, that figure falls to approximately €2,502 per square metre.
These calculations are actually conservative because the auction price includes not only the 151 m² apartment, but also the two cellars and the covered parking space.
By comparison, current market data published by Immobiliare.it for Baldo degli Ubaldi shows an average residential asking price of approximately €4,114 per square metre in August 2026, up 7.22% from August 2025.
On that simple comparison, the auction base-price ratio is around 19% below the area’s current asking-price benchmark, while the minimum-offer ratio is approximately 39% below it.
This should not be interpreted as a guaranteed 19% or 39% profit: asking prices are not completed sale prices, and property condition, renovation expenditure, taxes and transaction costs must all be considered. Nevertheless, the difference illustrates why the property deserves serious examination by value-oriented investors.
Location Adds to the Investment Case
Via Carlo Galassi Paluzzi is situated in a semi-central western area of Rome, close to the important Via Baldo degli Ubaldi corridor. The court-appointed expert described the neighborhood as particularly well supplied with shops, services and public transportation.
The report specifically identifies the Valle Aurelia Metro A station, several bus routes, the AURA shopping centre and the large Monte Ciocci public park in the immediate surroundings.
This type of connectivity is relevant for several investment strategies. A large apartment with Metro access can appeal to families seeking a primary residence, professionals requiring convenient access across Rome, or tenants who place a premium on public transport and neighborhood services.
Rental-market indicators also support the area’s relevance to landlords. Immobiliare.it reported average residential asking rents of approximately €16.39 per square metre per month in Baldo degli Ubaldi in August 2026. That figure should not be treated as a prediction of the rent achievable by this specific apartment, but it provides useful evidence of the rental pricing environment investors are entering.
Renovation Could Create Additional Value
Another potential advantage is that the apartment is not being presented as a newly renovated premium property.
For some investors, that can be an opportunity rather than a disadvantage. A 151 m² apartment provides substantial scope for modernization, improved finishes and a layout tailored to the target market. Renovation could potentially reposition the property toward buyers or tenants seeking a more contemporary home while benefiting from the underlying size, balconies, storage and parking.
The latest official auction notice states that the apartment currently presents urban-planning, building and cadastral regularity. It nevertheless notes the possibility that Roma Capitale could seek a sanction relating to the absence of a SCIA filing for previous restoration works. That matter should therefore be checked by the buyer’s technical adviser before bidding.
From a title perspective, the latest sale documentation states that there are no prejudicial registrations other than those that will be cancelled through the transfer decree, while the earlier court expert also reported regular twenty-year provenance and absence of mortgages or attachments affecting the units at the time of the investigation.
Why Investors May Find This Property Attractive
The investment case ultimately rests on a combination that is not always easy to obtain in Rome: a large apartment, Metro-connected location, two cellars, covered parking, vacant possession and an auction entry price below current local asking-price benchmarks.
For a renovation-and-resale investor, the size and price differential may provide room to create value through modernization. For a long-term investor, the established residential location, transport connections and rental market create another possible strategy. For an investor seeking a larger asset for eventual personal use, the property also offers flexibility that smaller auction apartments cannot provide.
As with every judicial auction, buyers should complete their own legal, technical, cadastral, condominium and financial due diligence before submitting an offer. But based on the official court documentation and the current local asking market, Via Carlo Galassi Paluzzi 3 presents a noteworthy opportunity for investors willing to examine the asset carefully and approach the auction with a disciplined acquisition strategy.
