What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €43,000 for 85 sqm, the asking price is €506/sqm, but with a realistic renovation allowance of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,206/sqm. That is far above this catalog's Campania townhouse baseline of €420/sqm, so despite the central location and decent photo set, this looks only fair value for a property explicitly needing renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable townhouse rather than a shell: it has functioning rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, heating and some outdoor space. The charm is modest rather than dramatic, with a plain town-street setting and very dated interiors, but at €43k it has solid live-in potential if refreshed.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Interior is dated and needs modernization throughout.
- No meaningful views or standout exterior character shown.
- Outdoor space appears small/basic rather than a dreamy garden.
- Condition looks usable now, but finishes and layout feel tired.
