What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is cheap at €357/m², but it is sold as a custom project and includes two units, so I estimate heavy renovation at about €900/m²; that brings the effective cost to roughly €1,257/m² versus a low-stock baseline of €379/m². Positive points are the independent whole building and valid residential category A/4, but the wording targets builders/investors rather than a ready livable home.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap whole building, but the photos show a bare, dusty shell rather than a home with charm. It appears structurally standing with stairs and enclosed rooms, yet it is not currently livable and needs substantial completion and installation work. The dream factor is low because there is no view, outdoor space, or proven character to offset the condition.
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, €900/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- No bathroom is shown and the facts list 0 baths.
- Interiors are raw/unfinished and need a full renovation before living in it.
- No kitchen or usable finished rooms are visible.
- Facade and entrance level look neglected, with likely utility/fit-out work needed.
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 67/100The area sits on the Frentani hills between the Sangro valley and the Adriatic side of Abruzzo. The Sangro river valley is nearby. Majella is the nearest mountain massif, visible from this part of the province, with the slopes of Maiella National Park within roughly this radius to the west. The nearest town of size is Lanciano, which has a substantial historic centre, services and the Sanctuary of the Miracolo Eucaristico. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive groves, vineyards and, in Castel Frentano itself, bocconotto pastries.
