Habitable: description states interior in excellent condition, only external renovation needed. Fresh listing (7 days), 200m\u00b2 garden, 20m\u00b2 cellar, garage, panoramic terrace, fireplace. Good rail links to Rome/Fiumicino via Passo Corese. Renovation is mostly external/facade so cost is modest (~\u20ac250/m\u00b2). Missing energy class and sea distance are minor. Solid value for an independent home with land at this price.
More on the house and the area
You get a detached house with a leafy, overgrown garden and a big roof terrace. The red facade and dense greenery give it some atmosphere, and there is a partial open outlook from the terrace. Inside, the rooms look plain and functional rather than characterful.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €19,000
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.

- Interiors shown are sparse and quite dark despite the text claiming good internal condition.
- Panoramic view is modest in the photos, mainly over nearby roofs and trees.
- Exterior and terrace clearly need renovation/cleanup.
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.
