At €361/m², the asking price looks very low, but allowing about €11,000 for a habitable 55 m² apartment brings the effective cost to roughly €561/m², close to the local benchmark of €547/m². The listing is brief and does not state the building year, energy class, or bathroom details.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€4,000 – €6,000
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 39/100The cluster sits in the lower Pescara valley near the Adriatic coast, in a flat to gently built-up plain crossed by the Pescara River. The coast at Pescara and Francavilla al Mare is within about 15 km, with long urban beaches on the Adriatic. The Maiella massif is visible farther inland and dominates the wider province, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape here. Pescara is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a railway station and the main airport for Abruzzo. This area is known mainly for logistics, retail and light industry around the airport corridor and the edge of the Pescara conurbation.
