What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 (€700/m²), the house is described as immediately habitable and furnished, so estimated effective cost is about €90,000 (€900/m²) after modest upkeep. The small Tricarico sample (baseline) is insufficient for a reliable market comparison, but the central location, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms make the price plausible rather than exceptional.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable, furnished two-level town house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a particularly atmospheric exposed-rock cellar. The traditional façade, stone-paved lane, marble staircase, fireplace, and immediate move-in condition make it far more compelling than a typical cheap fixer, although the interiors are dated and there is no outdoor space or demonstrated view.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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 clean and usable but distinctly dated, with likely cosmetic updating needed.
- No garden, terrace, or notable view is shown; the house sits in a dense historic-town setting.
- The exposed-rock cellar may require checking for dampness and ventilation.
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 cluster is in the Lucanian Apennine hill country. The Basento valley is the main local landform, with cultivated slopes, woods and eroded clay hills in parts of the surrounding countryside. Tricarico itself is a hill town with a substantial historic centre and a Norman tower. Matera is the nearest city of size for fuller services and rail links. The area is known for inland Basilicata farming and for the arbëreshë and medieval hill-town belt of this part of the region.
