What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 plus roughly €21,000 for renovation, the effective cost is about €2,200/m²—around four times the local sub-€100k benchmark of €544/m². Being 2 km from the sea is a positive, but not enough to offset the very high price for a 30 m² apartment needing renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a characterful Naples setting with ornate historic façades, balconies, colorful buildings, and lively everyday street life at a relatively accessible price. However, the apartment itself is not shown, and the stated renovation need plus very small 30 sqm footprint keep it in the charming-project category rather than a dream-home score.
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€6,000 – €11,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The gallery shows only the surrounding streets, not the apartment interior, so its actual livability and renovation scope are unknown.
- The 30 sqm unit needs renovation and is in a dense, busy urban setting with limited privacy and no visible outdoor space.
- Historic façades and streetscape are attractive but visibly weathered.
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.
