In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €62,438 (€800/m²), the apartment is already priced above the local €660/m² median. Assuming it is genuinely habitable, allowing roughly €200/m² for remaining works brings the effective cost to about €1,000/m², making it ordinary rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
The apartment appears to be a usable, furnished 78 sqm home with attractive staged interiors and a modest exterior porch. However, it lacks a distinctive Italian setting or confirmed views, and the gallery seems inconsistent with the ordinary exterior and floor plan, so the visual appeal should be verified carefully.
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.
- The property is described as habitable, but the listing provides no bathroom count or energy rating.
- Many interior images appear heavily staged or illustrative and may not represent the actual apartment.
- No sea view, historic setting, or substantial private outdoor space is proven; Ardea is approximately 4 km from the coast.
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 39/100This is the Tyrrhenian coastal plain south of Rome, with low flat terrain, drainage canals, fields and dispersed housing. The coast at Tor San Lorenzo and Marina di Ardea is within a few kilometres, with long sandy beaches and dune remnants along this stretch of the Lazio shore. The area is tied to the Roman littoral: daily services are in the Ardea–Pomezia built belt, and Rome is the nearest major city for higher-order services and jobs. The landscape around the cluster is shaped more by suburban expansion and coastal plain agriculture than by a distinct historic or mountain setting.
