In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €319/m², the €94,500 asking price looks low, but estimated habitable-property costs bring the effective price to about €519/m², only modestly below the local €544/m² reference. Heating and 30 photos are positives, but the sparse description does not state the bathroom count or other key details.
More on the house and the area
This is a large urban property with a small enclosed courtyard, but it has little visible architectural character, garden appeal, or verified view. Although the description calls it habitable and mentions heating and a kitchen, the photographed exterior looks tired and partly neglected, while the absence of interior evidence makes real livability uncertain.
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€19,000 – €33,000
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 provided, so the claimed habitable condition cannot be verified.
- The exterior, courtyard, doors, and paving show substantial age and deferred maintenance.
- The listing states zero bathrooms, which needs clarification before considering it move-in ready.
- Several aerial and panoramic images are explicitly illustrative and do not represent the property or its immediate setting.
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 57/100This is the Campanian plain at the foot of Monte Tifata, with the Monti Trebulani and the first inland relief of northern Campania within the local horizon. The Volturno river runs nearby across the plain. Caserta is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Royal Palace of Caserta, a UNESCO site, a few kilometres north. Capua is adjacent and the area is known for major Roman remains, especially the amphitheatre at Santa Maria Capua Vetere and the archaeological landscape of ancient Capua. Naples is within normal daily logistics for work and transport, but it does not change the landscape score.
