What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 120 m² (€333/m²), the asking price matches the Molise baseline, but estimated habitable-home costs bring the effective price to about €533/m², above the baseline. The listing is recently posted with 21 photos, but the facts say 120 m² while the description says about 100 m², and the condition is unspecified.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, furnished village house with strong historic character, especially the exposed-stone dining room, fireplace, traditional floors, and old doorway. It is more charming than beautiful, with dated décor and no proven view or outdoor space, but €40,000 for roughly 120 sqm gives it real bargain 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€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 furnished and usable but quite dated, with basic bathrooms and kitchens.
- No meaningful landscape view, garden, or attractive exterior is shown.
- The listing facts indicate one bathroom, while the description appears to mention two; verify the actual layout and utilities.
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.
