See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €78,000 plus roughly €13,000 for habitable-condition work, the effective cost is about €1,400/m²—well above the local comparison level of €583/m². Garage, heating and accessibility add practical value, but the premium is too large for a one-room townhouse in Labico.
More on the house and the area
The main positives are a private fenced yard, mature greenery, and a hillside historic-town backdrop. However, the photos show a basic single-level garage/workshop with a bathroom rather than a ready-to-live-in home, so it has limited dream-home appeal without significant conversion and refurbishment.
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.
- The interior is presented mainly as a cluttered garage/workshop, with no evident kitchen, bedroom, or finished living area.
- Concrete floors, exposed services, aging fixtures, and general disrepair suggest substantial renovation despite the listing calling it habitable.
- The property is directly beside a road and guardrail, so privacy and traffic noise may be concerns.
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 61/100The cluster is in the Lepini foothills, with the Monti Lepini rising immediately to the south and west. The Sacco valley lies below the town. The area is tied to the old hill town of Artena, which has a large historic centre on the slope, and to Valmontone nearby, which provides the main rail and motorway services in this part of inland south Rome province. Within this radius the landscape is a mix of steep limestone slopes, olive groves and valley-floor settlement along the Rome–Naples corridor. The area is known locally for hillside historic towns on the edge of the Lepini range.
