See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 (€234/m²), the asking price is low, but the stated renovation need adds roughly €119,700, producing an estimated all-in cost near €934/m² versus a local reference of €357/m². The listing also describes 2 bedrooms while the stated facts indicate 5 beds, so the usable layout should be verified.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, affordable 171 sqm town house with balconies, tiled floors, a functioning-looking bathroom and a fully roofed structure. However, it is plainly dated and visibly deteriorated, and the listing explicitly says it requires renovation, so it feels more like a substantial project than a dream-ready Italian home.
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€34,000 – €60,000
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 peeling exterior render, damp-looking walls and deteriorated balcony soffits.
- The interiors are functional-looking but dated, with no kitchen shown and bathroom fixtures in poor condition.
- No garden, notable historic character or scenic view is visible; the property is in a dense residential setting.
- Multiple levels and narrow access may add renovation and maintenance complexity.
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 46/100This is the plain of the middle Volturno, with Monte Maggiore and the first hills of the Campanian Apennine foothills nearby. The Volturno river runs through this part of the province. Capua is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Caserta is the main city for higher-order services. The area is known for mixed agriculture on the plain, especially mozzarella di bufala from the wider Caserta plain.
