At €58,500 (€944/m²), the apartment is already habitable but estimated total costs reach about €70,900, or €1,144/m²—well above the local comparison level of €661/m². Its terrace, heating, accessibility features and Rome location add appeal, but the asking price is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable two-bedroom apartment rather than a renovation shell, with a functional kitchen, bedrooms, heating, and an outdoor terrace area. However, the home is visually ordinary and heavily cluttered, while the exterior currently looks unfinished or under repair; there is no demonstrated view or standout character.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
- Exterior appears to be under scaffolding or renovation.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, cluttered, and visually modest.
- No attractive view, garden, or distinctive historic character is shown.
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 cluster lies in the built-up area of Rome, so the lived setting is urban fabric rather than a rural landscape. The nearest large natural feature within about 15 km is the valley of the Tiber, but here it runs through the city in a developed corridor. Central Rome has first-rank historic monuments and UNESCO status, but those are urban cultural assets rather than surrounding landscape features.
