See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €19,000 (€268/m²), the asking price is far below the local benchmark, but the house is explicitly completely to renovate. Adding roughly €78,100 for renovation gives an effective cost near €1,368/m², well above the €294/m² benchmark; the description also says about 80 m² while the listing states 71 m².
More on the house and the area
This has genuine dream-home ingredients: a handsome historic brick façade, traditional beams and terracotta floors, a garden/terrace, and an exceptional panorama across the Marche countryside. However, the interior is heavily deteriorated and cluttered, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than a realistically move-in-ready home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €42,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated, with extensive cracking, peeling finishes and outdated services visible.
- The bathroom is not shown, and the condition of the roof, wiring, plumbing and structure needs professional verification.
- Access is through a narrow historic-borgo lane, with no visible private parking.
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 area is in the inland hills between the Tenna and Ete Morto valleys, with a landscape of cultivated ridges, small woods and scattered villages. The Adriatic coast is nearby but outside the immediate 15 km radius for much of the surroundings. Fermo is the nearest town of size, with a cathedral, a large Renaissance piazza and full everyday services. The Sibillini Mountains are visible in clear weather and the Monti Sibillini National Park lies farther inland, but they are beyond the local landscape radius. This part of southern Marche is known for mixed farming and for the footwear district around the Fermano-Maceratese area.
