What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 196 m², the entry price is attractive at €306/m², but the house needs renovation estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,006/m² versus a local reference of €465/m². Only two photos and limited details make the renovation scope harder to verify.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, solid-looking two-level house surrounded by mature trees and garden space, with an intact roof and attractive rural greenery. However, the property is explicitly sold for renovation, the interiors are not shown, and the single bathroom makes it feel more like a substantial project than a ready-to-live dream home.
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation, with the interior condition and utilities not shown.
- Only one bathroom for 196 sqm and up to seven bedrooms.
- Exterior has significant stored items and an unfinished, utilitarian feel rather than polished curb appeal.
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 72/100Fossombrone lies on the Metauro river where the Apennine foothills descend to the coastal plain. The Riserva Naturale Statale Gola del Furlo (Furlo Gorge) and the Candigliano river are within a few kilometres north of the town, and the Roman-era Via Flaminia runs through the gorge. The landscape within about 15 km is river valley, small agricultural plots and wooded Apennine foothills. There are no ski lifts within 15 km; Apennine ski areas such as Monte Nerone and Monte Catria are further inland. The nearest cities of size are Pesaro on the Adriatic (regional train services, beaches, larger hospitals and services) and Urbino, a Renaissance hill town with a university and the Ducal Palace (Urbino's historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site). The area is known primarily for the Gola del Furlo nature reserve and the historical route of the Via Flaminia.
