What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 91m² apartment at 714 EUR/m², ~17% above local median of 608. Independent entrance, no condo fees, cellar and woodshed are pluses. Description admits original materials throughout ('tela bianca'), so expect cosmetic-to-moderate interior renovation (~400 EUR/m²). Energy class and sea distance missing. 1964 build. Priced slightly above baseline but reasonable for a move-in-usable unit; modest deal, not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Dated 1960s semi-detached apartment in Montecarotto with independent entrance. Interiors are original and time-worn: terrazzo floors, vintage furniture, tired bathroom, aged kitchen. Faded exterior stucco, no standout view captured despite panoramic tag. Cellar and woodshed are practical but unremarkable. A habitable but wholly ordinary blank-slate property; retro character is mild, not a scroll-stopper.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €18,000
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.
