What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €181/m² asking price is 69% below the local €587/m² reference, but allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €881/m². The listing is too sparse to verify condition, bathrooms, or legal usability for such a large 313 m² townhouse.
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€62,000 – €110,000
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.
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 42/100The area is the Agro Pontino plain between Rome and Latina, with flat reclaimed farmland, drainage canals and long straight roads. The Tyrrhenian coast is nearby, with the beach and dune landscape of Tor Caldara Regional Nature Reserve to the north and the Littoral of the Lazio State Nature Reserve around the Anzio-Nettuno shore within roughly this range. Anzio and Nettuno are the nearest coastal towns of size, with ports and full daily services. Aprilia sits in the built-up belt spreading between the Roman hinterland and the Pontine plain.
