At €70,000, the estimated effective cost is about €937/m² after modest habitable-home costs, versus a local comparison level of €594/m². The apartment has useful extras—garage, balcony, cellar and heating—but is priced well above comparable stock.
More on the house and the area
A solid, spacious 95 sqm habitable apartment with a useful balcony, garage, cellar, and an attractive distant hill-and-mountain outlook. The interiors are clean and fully usable, but largely dated and ordinary rather than character-rich, so the main appeal is comfortable affordability and livability rather than a dream-home atmosphere.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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 apartment is clearly habitable but has dated kitchen, bathroom, flooring, fixtures, and furnishings.
- The mountain and city view is attractive but urban rather than panoramic countryside.
- Only one bathroom is shown, and the balcony appears modest in size.
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 Terni, so the setting is urban rather than open countryside. The Nera river runs through the area. The Marmore Falls and the lower Nera valley are nearby, but they sit outside the immediate urban fabric and do not change the fact that a resident here lives in a city environment. Terni is a provincial capital with full services, rail links and major road connections, and the area is historically known for steel industry.
