Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €395/m², the €79,000 asking price is about 19% below comparable Umbria townhouses, and the home is in Piegaro’s historic center with a new 2017 roof, double-glazed windows, heating and a private garden. Allowing roughly €100/m² for updates and its energy class G, the effective cost is approximately €495/m², close to the local benchmark rather than a deep bargain.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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.
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 68/100The area sits in the Umbrian hills near the upper Nestore valley, with mixed woodland, fields and olive groves. Lake Trasimeno is within about 15 km to the north-west. Città della Pieve is the nearest notable hill town, with a substantial historic centre; Castiglione del Lago on Lake Trasimeno is also nearby. This part of western Umbria is known for dispersed hill villages, farming and woodland, and Piegaro itself for glassmaking.
