See what needs doing and what each job costs
Property is sold at judicial auction and the description reports long abandonment, water infiltration and possible asbestos, contradicting the 'Renovated' status. Estimated renovation ~€1,100/m² → total cost ≈ €136,890 (asking €22,490 + works), so this is not a straightforward purchase.
More on the house and the area
Lovely hill-town property with authentic 19th‑century character and a rooftop terrace with open countryside views — a real draw for someone wanting to live in a Marche borgo. The building is a complete, lived-in house but shows neglect (roof/terrace leaks, possible asbestos and tired interiors), so plan for medium‑level renovation and safety remediation rather than a simple cosmetic refresh.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€41,000 – €61,000
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.
- Clear water infiltration from the upper terraces/roof — terrace and roof need repair.
- Possible asbestos (fibrocement chimney/roof elements) reported — remediation likely required.
- Interior is dated and damp-stained in places; finishes, bathrooms and systems will need updating.
- Some rooms have low/sloping ceilings and small windows — headroom and light are limited in parts.
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 sits on the Adriatic side of the Marche hills, with a short stretch down to the Adriatic coast around Porto Potenza Picena. The Potenza river valley is nearby, and the landscape is a mix of cultivated rolling ground and coastal plain. Conero is the nearest named coastal feature, but it lies well beyond the immediate 15 km landscape and does not define the setting here. Civitanova Marche is the nearest larger town, with rail services, shopping and port-related coastal development. Recanati is nearby inland and is known for Leopardi and its historic hill town. The area is known for mixed farming, coastal tourism and the broader belt of hill towns between Macerata and the sea.
