What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €174/m², the asking price is 69% below the local apartment median of €559/m². However, the listing does not state the condition or bathroom count and only mentions heating; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €874/m², so the apparent bargain is unproven.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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 58/100The cluster sits in the cultivated hill country to the west of the Adriatic plain and just outside the urban area of Macerata. Landscape within about 15 km is predominantly agricultural: arable fields, vineyards, olive groves and small woodlands on gentle hills. The Chienti is the main local river corridor for the area. The nearest named mountain system is the central Apennines to the west (higher Sibillini peaks lie farther beyond the immediate 15 km radius). Macerata is the closest city of size and provides a university, the open‑air Sferisterio opera arena, provincial administrative services, larger shops and cultural programming. Road links connect to the coastal SS16/A14 corridor and the rail hub at Civitanova Marche; there are no national parks or UNESCO landscape designations inside the 15 km radius.
