At €79,000 for 48 m², estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €2,346/m², versus €577/m² for comparable Lazio homes. The garden, garage and cellar add value, but the asking price is far too high for a property needing renovation.
More on the house and the area
The house has a pleasant traditional exterior, decorative vintage tiles, a tiled roof, chimney and a usable-looking garden in a green hillside setting. However, the interior is currently uninhabitable in several rooms, with major plaster, ceiling, flooring and systems work needed; it is a serious renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in 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€10,000 – €17,000
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 interior is heavily deteriorated, with rubble, exposed masonry, damaged ceilings and extensive damp or structural repair needs.
- The old roof and wall condition should be assessed carefully before purchase; this is a substantial renovation rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The garden and ancillary sheds are overgrown and dilapidated, requiring clearance and likely rebuilding or removal.
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 55/100The cluster is in the Rieti plain at the foot of the Sabine Apennines. The Velino river crosses this area, and within about 15 km are the Riserva Naturale dei Laghi Lungo e Ripasottile and the plain known as the Piana Reatina. Monte Terminillo rises just north-east of Rieti, with ski lifts around Terminillo roughly 20 km away by road. Rieti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, a cathedral, services and rail links. This area is known for the broad basin floor set under the first Apennine slopes and for the wetlands of the reatine lakes.
