What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 165 sqm, the asking price is about €364/sqm versus a low-stock baseline median of €417/sqm in Abruzzo townhouses, so the raw ask is slightly below ordinary. The description says the 1980 building is solid and well maintained, so I assume habitable with light updates (~€200/sqm), bringing effective cost to about €564/sqm: decent value for a large 5-bedroom townhouse, but not a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
The price-per-square-meter is strikingly low for a solid, full-height townhouse with balconies and a complete exterior shell. But inside it is essentially an unfinished brick shell, so this is a substantial project rather than a home you could live in soon. The structure looks intact, yet the lack of finishes and amenities keeps the wow firmly in the project category.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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 completely unfinished and not currently habitable
- Requires full fit-out: floors, bathrooms, kitchen, doors, finishes, likely systems completion
- No meaningful view or outdoor wow shown beyond small balconies/terrace
- Narrow multi-level layout over 5 floors may not suit all buyers
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.
