Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €37,000 (€673/m²), the asking price is about 48% above the local €454/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for its unstated condition brings the effective cost near €873/m². The listing presents a functional two-level home with 17 photos, but it does not say whether the property is habitable or renovated.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, furnished two-level home with a fitted kitchen, functioning bathroom, bedroom, heating, and attractive wood details. Its old-town facade and modest historic character add charm, while the €37,000 price is compelling, but the house is small and lacks outdoor space or a standout setting.
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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- Very compact 55 sqm layout with a narrow open staircase.
- Directly on a public road, with no garden, terrace, or visible view.
- The exterior facade shows age and some peeling plaster, despite the renovated interiors.
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 67/100The area sits on the Frentani hills between the Sangro valley and the Adriatic side of Abruzzo. The Sangro river valley is nearby. Majella is the nearest mountain massif, visible from this part of the province, with the slopes of Maiella National Park within roughly this radius to the west. The nearest town of size is Lanciano, which has a substantial historic centre, services and the Sanctuary of the Miracolo Eucaristico. This part of Abruzzo is known for olive groves, vineyards and, in Castel Frentano itself, bocconotto pastries.
