At €50,000 (€333/m²), the 150 m² townhouse looks cheap initially, but a renovation allowance of about €105,000 brings the effective cost to roughly €1,033/m²—well above the €412/m² local comparison level. Its historic-center setting, balcony, cellar and fireplace add appeal, but the substantial work and energy class G weaken the deal.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
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 67/100The cluster lies in the Picentini area at the foot of the Monti Picentini, with wooded ridges and interior valleys within the 15 km radius. The Sele plain opens not far to the south and west, so the immediate setting is a transition from low hills and valley farmland to the first mountain slopes. The Monti Picentini Regional Park reaches this area. Giffoni Valle Piana is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and everyday services; Salerno is the main city for higher-order services and transport but sits beyond the local landscape radius. The area is known nationally for the Giffoni film festival.
