What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,021/m², the asking price is about 83% above comparable local stock at €559/m²; allowing a modest €200/m² for unspecified works brings the effective cost to roughly €1,221/m². The apartment has heating, a balcony, cellar and fireplace, but the listing does not state its condition or provide a bathroom count.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical 75 m² two-bedroom apartment with a balcony, cellar, kitchen, heating, and a conventional residential layout. However, it offers no proven standout beauty, historic character, land, or exceptional view, while post-earthquake repair works reduce immediate livability. The price is reasonable for the size but not enough on its own to create a strong wow effect.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Repair and structural-reinforcement works are still ongoing after the 2016 earthquake.
- The apartment is in an older 1960 building with energy class E and no private parking.
- Auction purchase carries additional legal, timing, and due-diligence risks; verify the actual bathroom and current habitability.
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 on the foothills of the central Apennines above the Potenza river valley. The local landscape within about 15 km is rolling agricultural hills with olive groves, vineyards, arable fields and patches of woodland. Multiple small medieval hill towns and villages with historic centres lie within that radius. No regional or national park is inside 15 km; the Monti Sibillini National Park lies well beyond that radius. There are no ski lifts within 15 km; the nearest Sibillini ski areas are a longer drive. The nearest provincial capital of size is Macerata (about 20–25 km east), which hosts the Università di Macerata, a provincial hospital and the Sferisterio arena for opera and events. The area is part of inland Marche known locally for small-scale agriculture, olive oil and local wines.
