See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 (€217/m²), the asking price is well below the local €440/m² benchmark, but the property explicitly needs renovation; at roughly €700/m², the effective cost rises to about €917/m². The stated 226 m² also conflicts with the detailed areas described, which total substantially more, creating uncertainty around the true size and renovation budget.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably spacious historic-center townhouse with a genuinely beautiful panoramic view over the Marche hills. The 120 sqm living area is furnished and functional, with a large salon, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and traditional details, but it clearly needs updating rather than being fully turnkey. At €49,000 for 226 sqm, the combination of livable space, views, and enormous accessory areas creates strong dream-home potential.
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€45,000 – €79,000
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 listing explicitly says renovation work is needed, although the main living areas appear usable.
- Interiors are dated, with older kitchen and bathroom finishes, wallpaper, and visible ceiling/wall imperfections.
- The property has only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and the 100+ sqm of cellars and attic may require substantial work.
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 57/100The area sits in the Esino valley with cultivated hills and river terraces, with the first ridges of the Marche Apennine foothills inland. The Esino river runs through this part of the province. Within this radius the main centre is Jesi, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. The wider area is known for Verdicchio wine, with vineyards across the hills around Jesi and the middle Esino valley.
