Price at 612 EUR/m2 sits almost exactly on the local median (606), so no bargain versus baseline. Property is in shell/grezzo state ('stato grezzo', semi-renovated) needing full renovation, so factor in ~700 EUR/m2 to make it habitable. Description is contradictory: claims ground floor with elevator yet 6.5m height over 2 levels with soppalchi/mezzanine potential, and 'semiritrutturato' vs 'grezzo'. Energy class and sea distance missing. Buyer also pays 2500 EUR + VAT agency fee. Thin baseline sample and inland Molise location limit resale liquidity. Overall an average-priced fixer with high uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
Raw shell requiring complete build-out in a small Molise town. Photos depict bare stonework, a concrete soppalco beam, small punched-out window openings and exterior masonry—no finished interiors, no view, no standout character. The 6.5m height and multi-level potential are functional selling points, not visual wow. Low price-per-sqm reflects the unfinished condition rather than a bargain on a desirable property. Nothing scroll-stopping here.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
