What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Priced at €304/m2 vs baseline median €375/m2, a ~19% discount that looks attractive on paper. However, the 'Habitable' condition tag directly contradicts the description, which states the property is in an advanced construction state with interiors to be completed ('stato di costruzione avanzato', 'interni da completare'). This is effectively a shell requiring full interior finishing—materials, systems, plumbing, heating—so budget ~€400/m2 to complete. The 2,500 m2 of land is a plus. The discount partly reflects the unfinished state rather than a true bargain, so a fair rating with meaningful completion costs.
More on the house and the area
An unfinished villa shell in rural Morcone (BN), Campania, on 2,500 sqm of private land. Despite the 'Habitable' tag, interiors are raw hollow-brick with unglazed openings. The lead exterior photo (a tidy finished white house) conflicts with the actual gray unfinished structure shown throughout the rest of the gallery. Some upper-floor windows offer a pleasant hill/countryside view. Main appeal is the low price-per-sqm (€304/m2) and generous land, but this is a project property, not a turnkey home. Nothing architecturally striking; ordinary rural construction requiring significant investment to complete.
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, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €55,000
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.
- Condition listed as Habitable but property is an unfinished shell (interiors are bare block, no plaster, no windows/doors)
- First photo appears to show a different, completed house than the unfinished structure in the remaining photos
- No energy class or building year provided
- Interior requires complete finishing (plumbing, electrics, plastering, floors)
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.
