See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€1,062/m²), this 80 m² apartment is priced well above comparable Caserta listings around €542/m²; allowing roughly €16,000 for ordinary updates brings the effective cost to about €1,262/m². The recent condominium renovation and terrace are positives, but the listing does not clearly state the apartment’s interior condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, spacious and clearly usable 80-square-metre apartment with clean tiled interiors, two bedrooms and a substantial terrace. However, it is a generic modern condominium rather than a characterful Italian dream home, and the kitchen still appears unfinished.
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.
- Kitchen cabinetry and appliances appear absent, so the open-plan kitchen area needs completion.
- Ground-floor position with extensive security bars may reduce privacy and appeal.
- The bathroom is windowless, and the large terrace looks more functional than scenic.
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.
