The €5,000 purchase price is exceptionally low at €83/m², but the apartment is completely to renovate; estimated works of about €1,100/m² bring the effective cost to roughly €1,183/m², well above the €649/m² local benchmark. Its independent entrance and historic-center location add appeal, but the renovation burden makes this an ordinary-to-weak deal overall.
More on the house and the area
This tiny historic-center apartment has genuine character, especially the large traditional fireplace, old doors, patterned floors, and views over Corchiano’s rooftops. However, the interiors are heavily deteriorated and explicitly require complete renovation, so it is a very cheap project rather than a realistically livable home today.
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€24,000 – €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.
- Completely to be renovated, with extensive peeling ceilings, damp-looking surfaces, cracks, and worn floors.
- Kitchen and bathroom are very basic and may require full replacement; utilities and structural condition should be verified.
- The attractive historic setting does not compensate for the property currently being uninhabitable as a finished home.
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 58/100No named mountain range within about 15 km. The Tiber (Tevere) valley and its small tributary valleys shape the local relief; the immediate landscape is tuff-based rolling hills, agricultural land, olive groves and patches of woodland. There is no national park or major protected area inside the 15 km radius. No ski lifts in the immediate area. The nearest town of size is Civita Castellana, which provides shops, markets, basic services and road/rail connections; the provincial capital Viterbo (larger services and thermal baths) lies farther away. The surrounding province is known for Etruscan archaeology and numerous towns built on tuff; the local economy is mainly agriculture (olives, cereals, some vineyards) with small industrial centres near the larger towns.
