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 €48,647 (€355/m²), this habitable 137 m² apartment is attractively priced, but allowing about €27,400 for ordinary updates brings the effective cost to roughly €555/m²—close to the local €559/m² benchmark. Autonomous heating and a garage add practical value; the listing does not state the number of bathrooms or energy class.
More on the house and the area
The advertised apartment is large and attractively priced, with a garage, but there is no verified beauty, view, historic character, or outdoor appeal. The stylish interiors shown cannot be credited because the listing states they are only indicative images, so this is a potentially practical bargain rather than a dream-home opportunity.
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 illustrative and not photos of the actual property.
- Auction purchase with potentially complex legal, occupancy, and handover issues.
- Actual condition, bathroom count, layout, and finishes are not reliably established by this listing.
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 57/100The immediate surroundings are low rolling hills and arable plain of central Marche, with fields, olive trees and vineyards typical of the province. The Apennine chain (Monti Sibillini) lies to the west and is visible on clear days but is more than 15 km away. The Adriatic coast and its beach towns (for example Civitanova Marche and Porto Potenza Picena) lie to the east at roughly the distance of a short drive. There is no national park within 15 km; mountain skiing and ski lifts on the Sibillini are significantly farther. The city of Macerata is the nearest provincial centre and offers a university, the Sferisterio arena (summer opera festival), hospital and broader services. The local economy around the town mixes agriculture (olive oil, cereals, vineyards) with small industrial and craft businesses typical of southern Marche.
