What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 for 120 sqm, the asking price is €667/sqm; with a likely renovation budget of about €700/sqm from the "personalizzare" wording, the effective cost is about €1,367/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €547/sqm in Marche country houses. Central location in Porto Sant'Elpidio and sea access help, but the listing is very sparse (1 photo, no bathroom data/condition) so this looks more like an ordinary renovation project than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
There is some authentic brick-townhouse character in the facade, with period proportions and wrought-iron balconies. But this looks more like a solid old house with renovation potential than an immediately dream-worthy home, and with no interior photos or confirmed bathroom it cannot score as truly livable-beautiful. At €80k for 120 sqm near the sea, the value helps, but the wow remains modest.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Only one exterior photo, so interior condition and layout are unproven
- Description suggests a property to customize rather than a ready home
- No bathroom is listed, which may indicate missing or outdated facilities
- Central roadside position means limited privacy and no visible outdoor space
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 52/100The cluster is on the Adriatic coast, with a continuous seafront of beaches along Porto Sant'Elpidio and the coastal strip toward Civitanova Marche and Porto San Giorgio. The lower hills of the Marche rise a short distance inland, but within this radius the landscape is mainly coastal urban fabric, beach establishments and the flat coastal plain at the mouth area of the Chienti. Civitanova Marche is the nearest larger town and provides a full set of shops, services and rail links on the coast. Inland, the first historic hill towns of the Fermano are reachable in a short drive, but they sit beyond the immediate coastal setting. This stretch of coast is known for seaside tourism and footwear manufacturing in the wider area between Civitanova and Montegranaro.
