In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €37,500 plus an estimated €9,600 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €981/m²—roughly 81% above the €542/m² local comparison level. Heating and a kitchen are mentioned, but the listing records no bathroom and gives very limited detail, despite claiming the apartment is habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful old Neapolitan urban property with a weathered historic facade, decorative stonework, shutters and an attractive internal terrace/balcony arrangement. It is described as habitable with autonomous heating and a kitchen, but the lack of interior photos and the apparent absence of a listed bathroom make real move-in readiness uncertain.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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 shows almost no interior photography, so the claimed habitable condition is difficult to verify.
- Bathrooms are listed as 0.0 in the facts, despite the description mentioning a kitchen; confirm bathroom provision and utilities.
- The facade has extensive peeling plaster, damp staining and visible aging that may require renovation.
- The aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not prove a view or the immediate setting.
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.
