What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€778/m²), estimated effective cost is about €978/m² after modest €200/m² renovation, versus the Abruzzo baseline of €456/m². The house appears functionally laid out with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and outdoor space, but condition and key technical data are missing, and the price is well above the local baseline.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, move-in-ready 90 sqm home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a functional kitchen, and a useful outdoor terrace/courtyard. It is clean and homely rather than architecturally special, with dated finishes and a dense urban setting instead of a beautiful landscape or village view. At €70,000, the size and livability provide a credible value appeal.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 and bathroom are usable but noticeably dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The house is in a dense residential street with no demonstrated scenic view or surrounding land.
- Exterior terraces and railings show some weathering; parking/access should be checked in person.
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 55/100Avezzano sits in the Fucino basin below the Velino-Sirente and Abruzzo Apennines. The former Lake Fucino plain lies at the town and is now a wide agricultural basin; the edge of the basin rises quickly toward Monte Velino and the Sirente-Velino area. The Parco Naturale Regionale Sirente-Velino begins nearby on the mountain side of the basin. Ovindoli and Campo Felice are the nearest ski areas, reached by mountain roads in roughly 35–50 minutes depending on conditions. Avezzano itself is the main service town of the Marsica, with rail links, hospitals, courts and the usual commercial services. The wider area is known for intensive farming on the reclaimed Fucino plain.
