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 €65,000 for 114 sqm, the ask is about €570/sqm; with a light habitable-home refresh estimate of ~€200/sqm, the effective cost is about €770/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €625/sqm in Lazio townhouses. Good livability, 41 photos, services nearby and garden/panoramic views support the deal, but it is not a deep discount once light updating is included.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house with a valuable private garden/olive-filled greenery and genuinely open valley views from the living spaces and balconies. The exterior is fairly plain and the interiors are dated, but it appears solid, habitable, and easy to improve rather than a heavy renovation project. At €65k for 114 sqm, it has strong practical appeal with some dream value from the outlook and outdoor space.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic updating.
- Street-facing access is plain, with limited curb appeal.
- Bathrooms and finishes look basic/older rather than refreshed.
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.
