What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €257/m², the asking price is 53% below comparable Campania apartments. However, the listing gives no condition, has energy class G and no photos; allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified renovation brings the estimated effective cost to about €957/m².
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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.
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 22/100This is in the built-up plain between Naples and Caserta, inside the Agro Acerrano-Nolano of the Campanian plain. The nearest larger city is Naples, with the full services of a major city, and Caserta is also close. Acerra is known for the Castle of the Counts and for its historic old centre, but the immediate surroundings are mainly urbanised plain, roads, industry and intensive farmland linked to the wider Naples metropolitan area.
