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 €52,000 for 70 sqm, the ask is €743/sqm; with about €250/sqm to make the habitable home fully functional (notably boiler installation), the effective cost is about €993/sqm. That sits above this catalog's low Lazio townhouse baseline of €625/sqm, but the house is in good overall condition, has 27 photos, outdoor space, and is just 5 km from Lake Bolsena, which supports a solid but not standout score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable home: clean, furnished, with a fireplace, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and generous terraces already in place. The nicest asset is the leafy setting by the woods and private outdoor space, though there are no dramatic lake views and the overall look is more practical than romantic. At €52k it feels good value for a habitable base near Lake Bolsena, but it is more modestly charming than truly dream-home wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€6,000 – €10,000
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 dated and fairly basic rather than stylish
- No real open view: terraces mostly face hedges and woodland
- Heating exists but the boiler still needs to be installed
- Exterior/common setting feels functional suburban, not especially picturesque
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.
