Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Terratetto of 119sqm at 840 eur/m2, essentially at the local median (858) so no meaningful discount despite needing full renovation. Energy class G and 'completamente da ristrutturare' means significant work: budget ~700 eur/m2 for a full gut. Positives: existing systems present, radiator heating, cellar, two fireplaces, free on two sides, fresh listing (6 days), good photo count (23), strong baseline. The lack of a price discount versus median for a property requiring full renovation is the main weakness \u2014 you pay median but must add renovation on top. Fair rather than good because the numbers work only if renovation is modest or property is a personal/holiday project rather than a flip.
More on the house and the area
A four-level terratetto near Arezzo (Anconetana) in fully-renovation condition. Some period charm from stone/marble fireplaces, exposed beamed ceilings with terracotta tiles on the ground-floor deposit rooms, and arched windows. However, most interiors are worn, dark, and dated (yellow floral bathroom, sun-motif kitchen tiles, terrazzo floors, patchy plaster). At €840/m2 it is affordable but not a standout bargain given the extensive work required. No view, sea proximity, or dramatic setting noted. Solid restoration project but visually ordinary.
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€23,000 – €42,000
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.

The area around
Location score 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Arezzo, so the lived setting is an urban plain at the edge of the Val di Chiana with low hills around the city. The Arno valley lies just north of the city. The nearest larger centre is Arezzo itself, with a substantial historic centre, the cathedral, the Basilica of San Francesco and full city services. The area is known for antiques, goldsmithing and the Giostra del Saracino.
