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
At €70,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €700/sqm; with a typical needs-renovation budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,400/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €409/sqm in Campania townhouses. The description supports real renovation needs but not a veto issue, and the strategic in-town location adds only a small offset to an otherwise weak price.
More on the house and the area
This is a real house rather than a ruin: it has usable rooms, bathrooms, stairs and a balcony, so it looks structurally serviceable and basically livable with work. But the photos show a very plain, urban courtyard setting and dated interiors with little architectural charm. At €70k for 100 sqm it has some value, yet the dream factor is modest and the renovation need is clearly part of the score.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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 area around
Location score 31/100This is the flat Campanian plain between Naples and Caserta, with dense farming and continuous urban development around the settlements. The Volturno plain lies to the north, but within the immediate area the main lived landscape is lowland built-up countryside rather than a distinct natural feature. Aversa is a substantial town with services and a historic centre, and Caserta and Naples are the nearest large cities for major transport, shopping and cultural sites. The area is known for the agro aversano plain and for mozzarella di bufala production in the wider Caserta lowlands.
