See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is an auction lot (judicial/asta) which adds significant legal and occupancy risk. After estimating €200/m² renovation the effective price is €54,200 (~€713/m²) vs the local median €600/m², and the description (mentions bathrooms) contradicts the facts (0 baths), so this is flagged as a trap.
More on the house and the area
A simple, liveable house with a covered raised portico and a private garden — pleasant outdoor space for Lazio living. Interiors are habitable but dated and a bit cluttered; the basement/garage area looks unfinished and will need attention. At €39k this is a clear bargain for someone willing to do modest works to modernize.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Dated interiors and clutter — needs cosmetic updating (kitchen, finishes, decorating).
- Lower level/semibasement appears unfinished and may be damp or require repairs.
- Photos are limited and lighting is poor so condition of bathrooms/roofing not fully clear.
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.
