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
Although tagged Habitable, the description says it needs internal renovation; using about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €81,000 total or €1,012/m². That is far above the local baseline of €368/m² for similar sub-€100k stock in Abruzzo, with only a small positive for central historic Lanciano and a recently redone roof.
More on the house and the area
The setting has some old-town charm, with a narrow historic street and a characterful entrance in central Lanciano. But inside this is a tired, damp-marked house with basic finishes and obsolete service areas, so it reads as a serious renovation project rather than an immediately lovable home. The recently redone roof helps, yet the lived-in dream factor remains modest.
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 needs substantial renovation despite the new roof
- Visible damp/stained walls in several rooms and basement areas
- Bathroom and kitchen are very basic/dated and likely need replacement
- No view, outdoor space, or standout light shown
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 62/100The area lies on rolling inland hills a short distance from the Adriatic coast, with the Sangro valley to the south and the Maiella massif visible inland in clear weather but not within the immediate landscape radius. The nearest coast is the Trabocchi stretch of the Adriatic around San Vito Chietino and Fossacesia, with coves, low cliffs and old fishing platforms. The nearest town of size is Lanciano itself, which has a substantial historic centre, a cathedral, and the well-known Eucharistic Miracle sanctuary. The area is known for mixed farming, olive groves and vineyards, with Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine and olive oil in the wider surroundings.
