What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000, the asking price is attractive, but the property is explicitly completely to renovate: roughly €165,000 in works brings the effective cost to about €200,000, or €1,333/m² versus €365/m² for comparable homes. Its central location is a modest positive, but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, inexpensive old-town house with some traditional character, a long balcony, and a surprisingly complete-looking interior. However, the property is explicitly described as completely needing renovation, and the worn facade and dated rooms make it more of a substantial project than a ready dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €88,000
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.
- Advertised as completely needing renovation despite the furnished photos.
- Weathered facade and dated interiors likely require substantial updating.
- No garden, notable view, or outdoor privacy is shown.
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 41/100Bellona lies on the inland plain north of Naples, between the Volturno basin and the first hills below the Campanian Apennines. The Volturno River runs a few kilometres to the north. Capua is the nearest substantial town and has a large historic centre, Roman remains and rail connections; Caserta is also nearby with the Royal Palace of Caserta, a UNESCO site, but that is outside the immediate landscape and does not define the setting around the cluster. This part of the province is known for mixed farmland on the plain, small towns and road links between Capua, Caserta and the interior.
