What it really costs
- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €988/sqm; assuming a basic renovation at about €700/sqm from the sparse description, effective cost is roughly €1,688/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €420/sqm in Campania. The listing is also very stale at 386 days on market, which strongly suggests buyers have rejected this price.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical semi-detached townhouse with a garage and some outdoor access, but it has very little visual romance. The interiors are stripped back with exposed wiring, unfinished walls and no usable bathroom or kitchen, so this is a renovation project rather than a home you could move into now. At under €1,000/m² it has some value appeal, but the wow factor is low.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Interior is mid-renovation and currently not habitable.
- No finished kitchen or bathroom is shown.
- Exterior spaces are functional but not attractive.
- Attic/roof area looks basic and may need further work/checks.
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 63/100The cluster lies in the Picentini hills at the western edge of the Monti Picentini, with wooded uplands and ridges inland. The Sele plain opens to the south and west, and the Gulf of Salerno coast is nearby but not inside the immediate inland landscape. The Monti Picentini Regional Park is within reach on the inland side of the municipality area. The nearest sizeable city is Salerno, which provides rail links, port services, hospitals and a full range of shops and offices. This part of the Picentini is known for chestnut woods, olive groves and hill villages above the plain.
