What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €35,000 asking price is attractive at €292/m², but estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €833/m² (€100,000 total), nearly double the Campania townhouse baseline of €422/m². The renovated roof and 28 photos help, but the listing's 0 recorded bathrooms conflicts with the description, which mentions two bathrooms.
More on the house and the area
A substantial independent country house with a charming courtyard framed by mature olive trees, panoramic outdoor space, a fireplace, and an unusually large 7,700 sqm agricultural plot. The roof is reportedly fully renewed and the house is furnished and usable, but it is dated and needs meaningful cosmetic renovation, with visible moisture damage and unfinished rooms.
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, €650/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The house needs renovation, with visible damp/peeling plaster and dated interiors.
- The listing states no bathrooms in the facts, although the photos and description show bathrooms; this should be verified.
- Heating, utilities, insulation, and the condition of the adjoining 40 sqm storage building are unclear.
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.
