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 80 sqm, the ask is €812/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,013/sqm versus a very low local baseline of €403/sqm. The description sounds usable and photos are adequate, but this is still far above this catalog’s local baseline, so it looks more ordinary-to-weak than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable small town house rather than a shell: kitchen, bathrooms, floors and bedrooms are all in place. The main appeal is the brick-vaulted ceilings and exposed stone, which give it authentic character, but overall it feels dim and quite basic rather than truly dreamy. Good value for a liveable historic base in Basilicata, though not a visual showstopper.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Exterior facade looks tired and would benefit from restoration
- Interiors are habitable but dark and need cosmetic updating
- Basement-style vaulted bedrooms may have limited natural light
- No private terrace, garden, or meaningful view 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.
