What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €88,000 for 177 sqm, the ask is €497/m², already above the local low-stock baseline of €392/m²; assuming a standard renovation due to missing condition and 0 baths, effective cost is about €1,197/m². Near-sea access at 6 km helps a little, but the sparse description and missing key habitability data make this only a fair deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a sizeable modern shell at a very low price, with some green surroundings and an intriguing old stone structure next door. But the house is clearly only at rough-construction stage, so it is not yet a livable home and needs full fit-out before anyone could move in. Beauty is limited and the wow comes more from project potential than from immediate dream-home appeal.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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.
- Sold completely unfinished (al grezzo), with no bathrooms, kitchen or finished interiors visible.
- Large additional build cost required to make it habitable.
- Outdoor space is raw and sloped, so landscaping/retaining works may be needed.
- Setting is hemmed in by neighboring buildings and access looks tight.
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 56/100The cluster lies in the valley between the Monti Picentini and the Lattari range, with the Irno valley running through this part of the province. The Monti Picentini Regional Park is nearby to the east. Salerno is the nearest city of size and has a port, rail links and a full range of services. The area is known for a settled valley landscape of small towns, road links and cultivated lower slopes rather than for a single standout natural feature within the immediate radius.
