What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €575/m², the €69,000 asking price is already 35% above the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €425/m²; adding an estimated €24,000 for habitable-condition updates gives an effective €775/m². The historic-center location, garden, garage, services, and seismic works support the price, but do not offset the premium.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, habitable townhouse in a historic Abruzzo borgo, with a working-looking fireplace, terrace, balcony, garden potential, garage and large cellar spaces. The interiors are comfortable and functional but old-fashioned rather than beautifully renovated; its 120 sqm, four bedrooms and €69,000 price make it a compelling live-in value.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but visibly dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernization.
- No strong landscape view is shown in the gallery.
- Verify the documentation for the seismic-upgrade works and the condition of the cellar/garage.
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.
