In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 plus roughly €17,600 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €882/m² versus a local benchmark of €543/m², making it relatively expensive. Being only 500 metres from the sea and having autonomous heating support the price, but the premium is substantial.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, characterful urban apartment in a colorful older building, with multiple balconies and a potentially appealing location just 500 m from the sea. The listing says it is habitable and has autonomous heating and a kitchen, but the gallery shows only the worn exterior, so the real interior quality remains unknown.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- No interior photos are shown, so the claimed habitable condition, kitchen, heating, and bathroom situation cannot be verified.
- The exterior has noticeable peeling plaster and weathering, suggesting some maintenance may be needed.
- Dense urban setting with no private outdoor space or confirmed sea view.
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 55/100This is inside the built-up area of Ancona on the Adriatic coast, with the Monte Conero headland and the Conero Regional Park just to the south. The coast here includes the port of Ancona and the urban shoreline, while the better known Conero beaches such as Portonovo, Mezzavalle and the Due Sorelle side of the promontory are outside the city but within about 15 km. Ancona is the nearest town of size and has a major ferry port, rail links, hospitals, university faculties and the regional administrative role. The area is known for the natural limestone headland of Monte Conero meeting the Adriatic and for Ancona’s harbour.
