At €29,000 (€207/m²), this 140 m² central Terni house looks cheap upfront, but it is described as a 1940s property completely needing renovation. At roughly €1,100/m² for the works, the effective cost is about €1,307/m², well above the local reference level of €473/m²; the central location adds some value, but the listing does not state the structural condition in enough detail.
More on the house and the area
The house has appealing historic-center character, with rough stone-and-brick masonry, old shutters and atmospheric pedestrian lanes. However, the gallery shows a largely raw, ruin-like interior rather than a usable home, so its charm is mainly restoration potential rather than immediate livability.
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€55,000 – €82,000
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.
- This is clearly a substantial renovation project, with raw interior surfaces and an uninhabitable-looking room.
- The old masonry, roof, floors, plumbing, utilities and structural condition require thorough verification.
- Dense historic-center access may complicate construction logistics and parking.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Terni, so the setting is urban rather than open countryside. The Nera river runs through the area. The Marmore Falls and the lower Nera valley are nearby, but they sit outside the immediate urban fabric and do not change the fact that a resident here lives in a city environment. Terni is a provincial capital with full services, rail links and major road connections, and the area is historically known for steel industry.
