What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €416/m², the €79,000 asking price is near the Friuli townhouse baseline of €421/m², but the 190 m², 1950s house needs renovation. Adding an estimated €133,000 renovation cost gives an effective cost of about €1,116/m², with only a small garden and no strong location premium at 12 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A generous traditional townhouse with timber ceilings, terracotta-style floors, old fitted furnishings, a private garden, outbuildings and additional cultivated land. It is a real, roofed house rather than a ruin, but the incomplete kitchen and visible wear mean it needs meaningful renovation before becoming a comfortable dream home.
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€38,000 – €67,000
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 needed, especially the unfinished kitchen and worn plasterwork.
- The property appears to have only one bathroom and dated heating/interiors.
- Garden and surrounding land are attractive but largely unfinished and maintenance-heavy.
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 61/100The area lies on the lower Friulian plain near the Stella river and the Marano lagoon. The laguna di Marano is within the local landscape, with fishing valleys, reedbeds and low wetland ground toward the coast. Lignano Sabbiadoro is the nearest larger seaside town, with beaches, marinas and seasonal services. Marano Lagunare is nearby and is known as the historic lagoon fishing centre. This part of Friuli is known for flat agricultural land, waterways and lagoon environments rather than relief or major monuments.
