In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
A habitable 90 m² townhouse at €42,000 is attractively priced upfront, but the unfinished attic adds work and raises the effective cost to about €667/m² versus a local benchmark of €423/m². Good transport links help, though the property is not near the coast and the overall value is ordinary rather than exceptional.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable 90 sqm townhouse with two bathrooms, a working kitchen, furnished bedrooms, balconies, and attractive wooded-hill views from the village streets. The cobbled historic setting adds some Italian character, while the €42,000 price is compelling, but the home is more practical than beautiful and the unfinished attic limits the dream-home appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €10,000
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 second-floor mansarda is unfinished and will require renovation.
- The exterior and some interiors are dated, with a plain facade and older kitchen/bathroom finishes.
- Town-center setting means no private garden and limited outdoor space beyond small balconies.
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 56/100The cluster lies at the foot of the Monti Tifatini, the limestone hills between the Caserta plain and the Caudina valley. The Isclero river runs through this area toward the Volturno basin. Caserta is the nearest city of size, with the Royal Palace and full city services. The area is known mainly for mixed farmland, small hillside historic centres, and the transition from the Campanian plain to the inland valleys.
