What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €44,000 asking price is attractive at €324/m² versus €422/m² for comparable homes, but the property is completely to renovate. At roughly €1,100/m² for works, the effective cost is about €1,424/m², making the apparent discount unlikely to survive renovation.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional townhouse with shutters, old parquet and patterned tile floors, plus a small courtyard and terrace. It is a real, furnished house rather than an empty shell, but the dated interiors and visibly worn exterior match the listing’s warning that it needs comprehensive renovation; there is no notable view or standout setting.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€54,000 – €80,000
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 says the entire property requires renovation, despite furnished and apparently usable rooms.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a five-bedroom layout.
- Exterior walls, courtyard structures, windows, and some flooring appear dated or in need of repair.
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 lies on the Friulian plain close to the lower Isonzo valley, with the Carso/Kras plateau beginning a short distance to the south-east and the Collio wine hills within about 15 km to the north. The Isonzo/Soča is the main river of the area. Gorizia is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, castle and the border crossing into Nova Gorica. This part of the province is known for vineyards and white wines, especially in the Collio zone.
