Asking €85,000 for 66 m2 (listed 1,288 €/m2; estimated effective ~1,488 €/m2 after ~€200/m2 refresh) versus a regional median of €575/m2. Habitable with autonomous heating and 17 photos/terrace, but the effective price is well above local norms, so this looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, move‑in ready town house with two bathrooms, fitted kitchen and a sunny roof terrace — clearly habitable and good value for Lazio. The terrace and nearby green hillside give pleasant outdoor space, but internal circulation uses narrow spiral stairs and the terrace view is modest rather than dramatic.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Narrow spiral/steep stairs — awkward for daily use or moving furniture
- Terrace view is mainly neighbouring roofs/wall and a hillside, not a wide panorama
- Compact one‑bedroom floorplan — limited living space
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.
