Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €57,000 for 262 m² (€218/m²), the asking price is far below the local €421/m² reference, but an estimated €200/m² for an apparently usable yet undocumented-condition home brings the effective cost close to market level. The listing does not say whether major renovation, energy upgrades, or additional bathrooms are needed, and the remote hamlet location limits upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable traditional Friulian townhouse with a working-looking kitchen, multiple furnished bedrooms, finished floors, and a charming fireplace. Its strongest dream factor is the dramatic mountain setting visible from the home, while the generous 262 sqm offers substantial space at a modest price. It is more authentic and practical than polished, with modernization and exterior maintenance likely needed.
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€17,000 – €29,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large five-bedroom home.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated, with older kitchen and furnishings.
- The exterior, balconies, and some ancillary structures would benefit from maintenance or updating.
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.
