What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 for 65 sqm, the asking price is €538/sqm, but in 'needs renovation' condition a realistic renovation budget is about €700/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,238/sqm. That is far above the local low-stock baseline of €505/sqm, though Assisi/Umbria and the 550 sqm private court add some appeal.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine Umbrian stone-house charm, with attractive exterior masonry, arches and some simple character inside like beams and vaulted cellar spaces. It is a real house rather than a shell, with kitchen, bathroom, floors and windows in place, but it feels tired and will need a meaningful refresh to become appealing to live in. At €35k near Assisi, the detached 550 sqm courtyard adds dream value even if the home itself is 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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
