See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 plus roughly €98,000 for renovation, the effective cost is about €1,129/m² versus €259/m² for comparable homes in the area. The inland mountain location and very brief description offer little value premium to justify the large gap.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic Marche setting is the star: the house looks over a broad, dramatic green valley from its balcony and surrounding land. It is a genuine, roofed home with a finished kitchen, bedrooms, tiled floors, bathroom and fireplace, but the lower floor is currently a rough storage/work area and the property needs meaningful renovation.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 67/100The cluster is in the valley of the Tronto, with the Monti della Laga and the Sibillini side of the Apennines within the surrounding inland landscape. The Tronto river runs through Ascoli Piceno. Monti Sibillini National Park begins to the north-west of the city area and is the main protected landscape in this part of southern Marche. The nearest substantial town is Ascoli Piceno itself, which has a large historic centre built in travertine, Piazza del Popolo, and the concentration of medieval and Renaissance buildings that make it one of the main historic towns of inland Marche. The area is known for olives all’ascolana and for travertine stone.
