What it really costs

292 EUR/m2 vs 427 median = ~32% below baseline on a solid sample. 240m2 townhouse with private courtyard, land, sea view in a desirable Abruzzo hill town near the borgo. Fully needs renovation, so budget ~500 EUR/m2 (~120k) for a habitable result; total ~190k still reasonable for 240m2. Missing building year and energy class; only 6 photos. Fresh listing (1 day). Decent value with upside, main risk is renovation scope on a large multi-family structure.
More on the house and the area
A 240 sqm plurifamily townhouse in a hilltop location near the borgo of Città Sant'Angelo, priced low at €292/m². The main draw is the panoramic hillside setting with a distant sea view, but the property is entirely dilapidated: peeling render, rusted railings, overgrown gardens, and no interior photos to reveal any character. The mundane mid-century concrete structure lacks historic charm or striking architecture. The bargain price for the size gives some appeal for a renovation project, but the wow factor is limited to the view, which itself is hazy and partly blocked by trees. No standout interior or exterior features.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €47,000
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.
