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 €37,875 (€285/m²), this habitable 133 m² apartment is priced below the local comparison level of €559/m²; allowing about €26,600 for light improvements gives an effective cost near €485/m². The listing mentions autonomous heating and a cellar, but provides limited detail and does not say how many bathrooms there are.
More on the house and the area
At €37,875 for roughly 97 sqm of apartment space plus an unfinished attic, this could be a practical bargain rather than a dream home. The photos show both a polished modern interior and a dark, dated room, but they are explicitly non-representative, so beauty and livability cannot be confidently credited.
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 – €15,000
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 listing explicitly says the images are indicative and may not depict the actual property.
- Auction purchase adds legal, timing, and occupancy risk.
- The 36 sqm attic is described as unfinished; the actual apartment condition and bathroom provision need verification.
- No distinctive view, garden, or historic architectural feature is proven.
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 61/100The area sits on the rolling hills between the lower Chienti valley and the Adriatic side of the Marche, with a mix of cultivated slopes, scattered farmhouses and small historic hill towns. The Chienti river plain lies nearby toward Civitanova Marche, while the coast is reached in a short drive but is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Recanati is close by and provides a substantial historic town with services and the Leopardi associations. Loreto is also nearby, with the Basilica della Santa Casa and a major pilgrimage centre. This part of the province is known for mixed farming and for a chain of hill towns looking over the coastal plain.
