At €854/m², the asking price is already above the €660/m² local comparison level; allowing roughly €15,800 for a habitable-condition refresh brings the effective cost to about €1,054/m². The listing mentions useful systems and kitchen fittings, but does not state the number of bathrooms, bedrooms, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, well-maintained-looking apartment building with balconies and a secure private entrance, and the listing describes the 79 sqm unit as habitable with heating and a kitchen. However, the exterior is conventional rather than beautiful or distinctive, and there is no visible view, historic character, or standout outdoor space to create a strong dream-home effect.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Only exterior photos are provided, so the interior condition and layout cannot be verified.
- The setting appears suburban and offers no visible special view, garden, or historic character.
- Bathroom count and other key details are not specified in the facts.
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 cluster is inside the built-up area of Rome, on the south-east side of the city in the Agro Romano. The Alban Hills lie nearby to the south-east, with the Castelli Romani hill towns and the Parco Regionale dei Castelli Romani within roughly this radius in that direction. Rome itself is the nearest major centre and provides the full range of services, transport and monuments of the capital. The area is known for the Roman Campagna on the city edge and for proximity to the Castelli Romani zone.
