What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
218 EUR/m2 vs regional median of 633 is a strong ~66% discount on a large 229 m2 independent townhouse. Fresh listing (2 days). Utilities (water, electric, gas) already connected, garage, courtyard, balcony. Needs full renovation—expect ~700 EUR/m2 (~160k) to modernize a semi-livable structure. Even fully loaded (50k + ~160k = 210k, ~917 EUR/m2) it stays near/below regional median, leaving margin. Splittable into two units or B&B adds optionality. Solid value; not a diamond due to renovation scope and inland location (no sea, no energy class/year data).
More on the house and the area
Standard inland Lazio townhouse near Fumone at a low price (€50k for 229sqm, €218/m2). The bargain size-to-price ratio is the only real draw. Exteriors show weathered stucco, rusty ironwork railings, overgrown vegetables/plants and a debris-filled rear yard. Interiors are dated and neglected — peeling ceilings, floral wallpaper, old furniture, a rustic fireplace hood. No standout view, no historic charm, no dramatic architecture. Two kitchens with wood fireplaces and potential to split into two units give practical appeal but nothing scroll-stopping. A renovation project, not a wow property.
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 – €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.
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.
