At €98,000 (€784/m²), this apartment would cost roughly €1,484/m² after allowing about €700/m² for the stated renovation, far above the local comparison level of €543/m². Its historic-palace setting and high ceilings add character, but the renovation burden makes the asking price weak.
More on the house and the area
A handsome historic-palace apartment with an attractive exposed-brick courtyard façade, very high ceilings, an old fireplace, traditional shutters, and some period character. It is a solid, roofed 125 sqm home with heating and a functioning bathroom, but the interiors are tired and clearly require real renovation before feeling comfortable or stylish.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €44,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including the dated kitchen and bathroom, walls, windows, and likely systems.
- Energy class G and visibly old fixtures may mean higher running costs and upgrade expenses.
- The attic/roof structure should be professionally checked before purchase.
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 52/100The area sits in the lower Esino countryside, with rolling cultivated hills between the Adriatic coast and the first inland ridges of the Marche. The Esino River runs nearby to the south. The nearest town of size is Jesi, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections, and Ancona is the main city on the coast with port and airport facilities farther east. This part of the Marche is known for vineyards and mixed arable farming, including Verdicchio production in the wider Esino valley.
