Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €23,730 asking price is extremely low at €125/m² versus about €490/m² locally, but the listing does not say whether the 190 m² townhouse is habitable or needs renovation. Allowing roughly €700/m² for an unconfirmed renovation brings the effective cost to about €825/m², so the apparent discount is not reliable without an inspection.
More on the house and the area
The gallery shows a bright, usable home with a modern kitchen, attractive wood flooring, renovated bathrooms, and a small balcony. It lacks a dramatic Italian view, garden, or strong historic character, but the apparent 190 sqm size at €23,730 is an extraordinary bargain if the photos and condition are genuine.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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 listing facts are unusually incomplete: zero bedrooms and bathrooms are recorded despite the gallery showing finished rooms.
- Verify that the photographs genuinely belong to this 190 sqm Perugia townhouse and confirm its legal, structural and utility status.
- The images show finished interiors, but the listing does not clearly establish whether the whole property is move-in ready.
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.
