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
At €39,009 plus an estimated €25,600 for light works, the effective cost is about €504/m², roughly 10% below the local €559/m² benchmark. The home is described as habitable with autonomous heating, but the listing does not state the building year, energy class, or bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, bright apartment with a modern open kitchen-living area, finished bathrooms, wood-look flooring, and several bedrooms. It appears broadly habitable rather than a renovation shell, but the surrounding building and courtyard are ordinary and offer little visual character or dream-setting appeal. The unfinished communal staircase materially reduces the overall livability impression despite the very low asking price.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
- The shared stairwell is explicitly unfinished, without plaster, handrails, or stair finishes, creating a practical access and safety concern.
- This is an auction property, so legal, occupancy, debt, and handover checks are essential.
- The apartment appears usable, but the photos do not show a distinctly Italian setting, open views, or private outdoor space.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
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 68/100The area sits in the inland Marche hills between the Chienti and Fiastra valleys, with cultivated slopes, small woods and long views toward the Sibillini chain. The Monti Sibillini are within about 15 km to the west, and the Sibillini relief is the main landscape feature around the village. The Monti Sibillini National Park begins nearby on the mountain side of the area. Sarnano is the nearest small town of note, with a preserved historic centre and services, and Macerata is the nearest larger provincial town for full everyday services. The nearest ski lifts are those of Sassotetto above Sarnano, reached by mountain road in roughly 30 to 40 minutes. This part of inland Macerata is known for hill villages, mixed farming and access to the Sibillini foothills.
