See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 180 m², the property appears inexpensive at first, but both floors need finishing and only the upper floor is residential; the ground floor is commercial/studio use. With estimated works of about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,194/m², well above the local comparison level of €367/m², while the G energy rating adds further cost risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful independent Campanian building with ornate iron balconies, an arched private courtyard and a traditional fireplace, offering considerable space for the price. The upper apartment appears usable and partly finished, but the ground floor is a raw commercial shell and several areas show damp, worn plaster and unfinished services, so it is not a move-in-ready dream home.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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 ground-floor commercial area is unfinished and needs substantial fitting-out.
- Visible peeling plaster, damp staining and exposed wiring indicate renovation and maintenance work.
- The property is in an urban neighborhood with no scenic view or meaningful garden.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Caserta, so the lived setting is an urban plain at the foot of the Campanian Apennine foothills. The Monti Tifatini rise immediately to the north of the city. The Reggia di Caserta and its park are in the city, and the royal complex is part of the UNESCO listing of the 18th-Century Royal Palace of Caserta with the park, the Aqueduct of Vanvitelli and the San Leucio complex. Caserta is the nearest town of size and has the services of a provincial capital. The area is known above all for the Bourbon royal palace and the silk tradition of San Leucio.
