See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €27,000 asking price is attractive at €300/m², but the described renovation opportunity adds an estimated €63,000, bringing the effective cost to about €1,000/m² versus a local reference of €454/m². The 90 m² house has good size and 11 photos, but the final cost is not especially compelling unless renovation needs prove lighter than stated.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine two-level house with finished floors, bedrooms, a bathroom, an arched dining area, and a traditional fireplace/mantel, so it is more than a bare shell. However, the interiors are plain and dated, while the exterior is visibly worn with cracked/rendered walls and neglected adjoining structures; its main appeal is renovation potential rather than immediate dream-home beauty.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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 appears usable but dated and likely needs substantial renovation.
- Exterior walls, masonry details, doors, and surrounding structures show significant deterioration.
- A proper kitchen is not clearly shown, and utilities, roof condition, and structural compliance need verification.
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 cluster sits in the lower foothills between the Sangro valley and the first ridges of the Abruzzo Apennines. The Sangro river runs nearby. The Maiella massif rises inland to the west, and the outer slopes of the Maiella are within this radius. The Maiella National Park begins farther inland around the mountain proper, outside the immediate area. The nearest sizeable town is Lanciano, which has a substantial historic centre, services, and rail and road links. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive groves and vineyards on rolling hills, and for the peperone dolce di Altino.
