In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 (€438/m²), this 80 m² apartment is immediately habitable; allowing about €16,000 for light updates gives an effective cost near €638/m², broadly in line with comparable Lazio stock. Its historic-center location, panoramic balcony and fireplace add appeal, though the remote inland setting and energy class G limit the upside.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable historic-borgo apartment with a photogenic stone-and-brick setting, traditional wooden doors, terracotta floors, exposed beams and a large working fireplace. The interior is old-fashioned rather than beautifully renovated, but it is a complete 80 sqm home with two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and a panoramic balcony at an exceptionally low price.
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 – €9,000
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.
- Very dated furnishings and finishes, though the property is presented as habitable immediately.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs.
- Parking is about 100 metres away, and the kitchen uses a gas cylinder rather than mains gas.
- Visible wall cracking and older fixtures merit a technical inspection.
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 68/100The Sabine hills surround Scandriglia, with wooded ridges and olive-growing slopes typical of this part of the province. The area lies close to the Turano basin and within about 15 km the main named natural feature is the Monte Navegna e Monte Cervia Regional Nature Reserve, which covers part of the nearby uplands above the Turano valley. Rieti is the nearest provincial town of size, with the usual administrative services and a substantial historic centre. This part of Sabina is known for olive oil and hill villages.
