What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 (€176/m²), the 159 m² house looks cheap, but it requires renovation; estimated total cost is about €139,300, or €876/m², versus the Molise baseline of €333/m². Its central position and 22 photos help, but the renovation burden outweighs the headline discount.
More on the house and the area
A handsome central Molise townhouse with exposed stone, old arched openings, antique woodwork, fireplaces, and considerable historic character. It is a genuine furnished home with kitchen, bathrooms, heating, and multiple bedrooms, but it is clearly dated and needs substantial renovation rather than being move-in ready. At €28,000 for 159 m², the price is compelling for a buyer seeking a restoration project.
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€31,000 – €56,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is indicated across four floors, including dated kitchen and bathrooms.
- Visible damp, peeling exterior plaster, and worn finishes suggest moisture and maintenance issues.
- The narrow four-level layout may be less convenient for everyday living.
- No meaningful landscape or panoramic view is shown.
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 71/100The cluster is in the upper Molise Apennines, with ridges and wooded slopes around Agnone. The Sangro valley and the Trigno basin shape the surrounding landscape, and the area is close to the Alto Molise uplands rather than to any plain. Within the area are traditional mountain villages and pasture country, and Agnone itself has a substantial historic centre with churches and old streets. The wider area is known for bell founding at the Marinelli foundry and for transhumance country across the high Molise hills. The nearest bigger centres with more services are Isernia and Vasto, while the main ski area used locally is Capracotta/Prato Gentile, roughly a short drive to the west.
