See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (offerta minima €13,892) and the description explicitly says the house “requires renovation” with no heating or plumbing, so I estimate renovation at €700/m2 → effective price ≈€803/m2 (135 m2 → total ≈€108,390). The the listing claim it is Renovated but the text contradicts that, and auction sales carry legal/transactional risk, so treat as a trap.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful stone-front townhouse in a hilltop historic centre with a real panoramic terrace and original beams. The building is structurally intact but the interior needs significant refurbishment and installation of utilities — a solid project at a very low price.
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€27,000 – €48,000
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.
- Property requires substantial renovation — interior unfinished in many rooms.
- No heating or water systems currently installed (only an electricity meter shown).
- Semi‑basement storage rooms lack direct ventilation; bathroom is incomplete.
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 58/100The area is a belt of cultivated hills between the Tenna and Ete Morto valleys in the inland Fermo province, with views toward the Sibillini range on clearer days. The Monti Sibillini lie to the west, with the Sibillini Mountains National Park beginning farther into the interior. The nearest larger town is Fermo, which has a cathedral, a substantial historic centre and the Roman Cisterne. This part of southern Marche is known for hat-making, and Montappone itself is associated with that craft.
