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
At €85,000 for 179 sqm, the ask is €475/sqm; assuming ~€250/sqm to update a merely habitable 1976 house with a rough attic, the effective cost is about €725/sqm. That is well above this catalog baseline of €381/sqm for Friuli Venezia Giulia villas, so it looks ordinary-to-weak rather than a bargain, despite the good size and 38 photos.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, very cheap detached house with a real garden, garage and terrace, so it has practical liveability value. But the photos show a fairly plain roadside building with limited beauty, and the visible exterior wear means it feels more like a solid budget home to refresh than a dream Italian wow house.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Exterior feels plain and roadside rather than picturesque.
- Only utility/ground-floor and exterior spaces are shown, so real interior charm is unproven.
- Visible wear and damp staining on lower walls and balcony soffits suggest maintenance work.
- Garden is usable but currently overgrown and not private-feeling.
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.
The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster sits on the Friulian foothills below the Carnic Prealps. The Meduna valley and the stony Magredi plain are the main local landscape features in this part of western Friuli. Within about 15 km are small vineyard and farming settlements around Spilimbergo and the Tagliamento basin. Spilimbergo is the nearest town of note and has a substantial historic centre and the well-known mosaic school. This area is known for gravelly river plains, vineyards, and the transition from plain to prealpine hills.
