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 €89,000 for 80 sqm, the asking price is €1,112/sqm; with a typical habitable-home allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,312/sqm. That is well above this Lazio townhouse baseline of €628/sqm, so despite the terrace, garage/cantina and 2,000 sqm fruit land, it looks only a fair deal rather than cheap.
More on the house and the area
The real star here is the huge panoramic terrace and open green mountain-valley setting, with useful land and fruit trees around the house. It looks genuinely habitable now, with finished rooms, bathroom, heating and practical outdoor space, but the interiors are plain and dated rather than beautiful. This feels like a real live-in countryside home with strong lifestyle appeal, not a romantic showpiece.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- 1980s house with limited architectural character
- Interiors are basic and a bit dated, so it needs cosmetic refresh
- Some exterior areas/under-house spaces look utilitarian rather than polished
