What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 (€256/m²), the house is well below the local €342/m² asking baseline, but its stated renovation needs imply roughly €136,500 in works. That puts the effective cost near €956/m², and the listing does not specify the scope or systems requiring renovation.
More on the house and the area
A spacious historic village house with an attractive arched entrance, traditional shutters, balcony details, terrazzo floors and a fireplace. The standout feature is the broad panoramic view over Molise’s rolling hills and countryside. Despite its dated condition and need for refurbishment, the furnished kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and intact roof make it a real, usable home rather than an empty shell.
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.
- The home is advertised as needing renovation, with peeling exterior paint, aging finishes and some visible maintenance issues.
- Interiors are fully furnished and appear usable, but dated rather than move-in polished.
- Hilly village access and multiple levels may be challenging; roof, systems and legal compliance are not documented.
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 54/100The area is in the lower Molise interior, with cultivated hills and small valleys on the edge of the Biferno basin. The Biferno river valley is nearby and shapes much of the surrounding landscape. Campobasso is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and a rail connection. The area is known for mixed farming and hill villages rather than for a single protected or nationally known landscape feature.
