In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At an estimated effective cost of about €980/m² (€68,663 purchase price plus €200/m² for a habitable home), this is roughly 79% above the local €547/m² benchmark. The 5 km distance from the sea and 56 photos help, but the listing does not say how many bathrooms there are and the price is high for the area.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, habitable 88-square-meter apartment with functioning-looking kitchen, bathroom, heating, and a small shared outdoor area. The real home photos show ordinary interiors and exterior finishes rather than a distinctive Italian setting or memorable character; the later high-end images should not be treated as evidence of the property.
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.
- The genuine property photos show a plain, older but apparently usable home; the polished luxury interiors appear unrelated or illustrative.
- No attractive view, private garden, or distinctive historic character is evident.
- Auction purchase may involve legal, occupancy, or access checks not covered by the listing.
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 in the built-up area of Pescara on the Adriatic coastal plain at the mouth of the Aterno-Pescara River. The coast and beach are within the urban fabric, and the city has a port, a long seafront and the main services of a provincial capital. The Maiella massif is visible inland on clear days but lies well beyond the 15 km landscape around the cluster.
