See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,323/m², this duplex is already more than double the local median of €594/m²; allowing about €250/m² for the stated modernization brings the effective cost to roughly €1,573/m². The 2008 construction, two bathrooms, parking and terrace are positives, but the quiet inland location and substantial price premium make this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
A bright, well-kept duplex with attractive exposed ceiling beams, two bathrooms, and a genuinely appealing view across the Umbrian countryside. It looks immediately usable once the kitchen is completed, though it is more a practical modern home than a spectacular historic Italian property.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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.
- The kitchen appears unfinished or missing appliances and cabinetry.
- The property is energy class G and may need modernization despite being in generally good condition.
- It is a compact duplex apartment with stairs and no private garden; the exterior space is a terrace/balcony.
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 56/100The area is the middle Tiber valley with low farmed hills, fields, woods and scattered hamlets. The Tiber runs east of Marsciano, and the Nestore stream crosses this part of the valley. Perugia is the nearest city of size, with the full services of a provincial capital and a substantial historic centre. This part of Umbria is known for olive groves, mixed farming and small hill villages.
