What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovation- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 for 195 sqm, the ask is just €149/sqm, but with a realistic renovation budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €849/sqm, above the local sub-€100k baseline of €410/sqm. Positives are the central location and approved renovation project, but it has been on the market 298 days, which weakens the price signal and caps the score.
More on the house and the area
The façade has real old-town character, with a handsome arched stone doorway and simple historic bones. Inside, though, this is not a ready home but a stripped, dirty renovation project with damaged ceilings, rough rooms and no visible usable services. Big size and very low price help, but the current livability is low.
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€39,000 – €69,000
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.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster is in the Lucanian Apennine hill country. The Basento valley is the main local landform, with cultivated slopes, woods and eroded clay hills in parts of the surrounding countryside. Tricarico itself is a hill town with a substantial historic centre and a Norman tower. Matera is the nearest city of size for fuller services and rail links. The area is known for inland Basilicata farming and for the arbëreshë and medieval hill-town belt of this part of the region.
