What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 for 118 sqm, the ask is €669/sqm, slightly above the local low-stock baseline of €625/sqm; with a likely full conversion/renovation implied by 'not yet a house', effective cost is about €1,369/sqm. The central village position and 15 photos help, but the listing is vague and internally inconsistent (118 sqm yet only 1 room, 0 beds), so this looks ordinary-to-weak unless the change-of-use is clearly confirmed.
More on the house and the area
This is structurally enclosed and not a ruin, with a large paved outdoor area and low €/m2 price, but it has almost no beauty or dream-home atmosphere in the photos. Inside it looks like a basic former commercial unit with visible damp and only partial facilities, so it feels like a conversion project rather than a home you could happily move into.
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€23,000 – €41,000
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.
- Currently looks like an ex-commercial space rather than a ready home
- Visible damp/peeling walls and exterior wear need renovation
- Very limited residential character in the photos
- Layout/legal change-of-use may be needed to make it a true house
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 61/100The Lepini Mountains rise immediately inland from Sezze, with limestone ridges and olive-covered foothills above the Pontine plain. The area sits above the plain reclaimed in the 20th century, with wide agricultural land stretching toward the Tyrrhenian coast. The nearest larger town is Latina, which provides the main services, rail connections and shopping area for this part of the province. The coast around Sabaudia and the Circeo promontory is reachable in daily life, but it lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. This part of southern Lazio is known for olives and for the contrast between the Lepini slopes and the flat Pontine plain.
