See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €518/m², the €57,000 asking price is close to the local €510/m² benchmark before accounting for the substantial cost and uncertainty of converting both C/1 commercial floors into a legal dwelling. The property is centrally located and reportedly in good condition, but it is currently not residential and the listing does not confirm that the change of use has been approved.
More on the house and the area
A solid, bright two-level property in the center of Montelibretti, with a usable terrace, balcony, two bathrooms and intact tiled floors. However, the photos show a former commercial space rather than a characterful home, and it still needs conversion to residential use plus a kitchen and remodeling to become genuinely livable.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.
- Currently registered as C/1 commercial space rather than a residence; change-of-use approval is needed.
- No kitchen is installed, only kitchen connections, so it is not move-in ready as a home.
- Interiors are plain and utilitarian, with dated finishes and limited privacy from the close urban surroundings.
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 58/100The Sabine hills begin around Montelibretti, with low ridges, olive groves and cultivated valleys. The Tiber valley lies nearby, and the Farfa river valley is within this part of the Sabina. The Lucretili Mountains are the nearest named range, rising to the east within about this radius, with the Monte Catillo and Monti Lucretili regional protected areas farther along the same belt. Palombara Sabina is the nearest historic town of note in this area, with a castle and a substantial old centre. The wider area is known for olive oil and for the Sabina countryside north-east of Rome.
