Why this price is what it is

Price €65,000 for 160 m² but description says the three floors are "da completare" while condition is listed as Habitable, so I estimate €350/m² of work (≈€56,000). Effective price ≈€121,000 → ≈€756/m², well above the local median of €360/m², so this looks overpriced.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Large three‑storey concrete shell in a town setting with a small private yard — not scenic but conveniently located near Passo Lanciano and the motorway. This is a project rather than a move‑in home: structure is standing but needs full completion (finishes, windows, services) despite the attractive price.

Minimum to live in it
€56,000 – €80,000

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.

Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.

€96,000 – €144,000

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €31,000

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.

Asking price + this range
€121,000 – €145,000
What worries us about this house
  • Large unfinished concrete shell — internal finishes, windows and services appear incomplete
  • Likely no fitted bathrooms/kitchen or heating; substantial work and cost to make fully habitable
  • Check building permits, seismic compliance and legal status before purchase

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 72/100

The cluster sits on the lower slopes of the Maiella (Majella) massif of the central Apennines; the Majella's limestone ridges and high relief dominate the local landscape. The Pescara river and its tributaries run through the nearby valleys (Popoli sits at the river). The area lies at the edge of the Parco Nazionale della Majella (Majella National Park). There are medieval monastic sites in the comune, notably the Abbey of San Liberatore a Maiella. The nearest larger settlements are Popoli (services, train station and access to the A25 motorway) and the spa town of Caramanico Terme (thermal baths and tourist services) within the same mountain valley. The locality is within a part of Abruzzo known for mountain hiking, karst terrain, and traditional pastoral/agricultural landscapes.
