A habitable 100 m² apartment at €600/m² is close to the €614/m² local comparison level; allowing about €200/m² for normal updates gives an effective €800/m². The bright mansard, balcony, heating, three rooms and 23 photos support a credible, move-in-ready listing, though Isernia offers no notable coastal or tourist-location premium.
More on the house and the area
A bright, spacious and clearly habitable mansard apartment with attractive exposed wooden beams, skylights, tiled floors and a usable balcony. It feels like a real home rather than a renovation shell, though the kitchen needs fitting out and the overall style is dated; the urban outlook limits the dream factor.
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€7,000 – €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.
- The kitchen appears to have tiled walls and plumbing but no fitted cabinetry or appliances visible.
- Finishes are dated and some walls show minor marks, so cosmetic updating is likely.
- The balcony overlooks a dense urban neighborhood rather than a scenic landscape.
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.
