In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €78,000 for 74 m² (1,054 €/m²); with an estimated €200/m² renovation the effective price is ~€1,254/m², well above the Lazio baseline of €585/m². The property is described as habitable with many photos, but it is noted as non-mortgageable which reduces buyer flexibility.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable three-bedroom home with two bathrooms, heating, and a private 200 sqm courtyard—more livable than a typical cheap Italian project. Its appeal is practical rather than spectacular: the interiors are clean but dated, the exterior needs maintenance, and there are no proven scenic views or standout historic features. The private outdoor space and relatively low price add meaningful value, though the non-mortgageable status is a major drawback.
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 – €8,000
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.
- The property is explicitly non-mortgageable, which significantly limits financing and resale options.
- Interiors are habitable but dated, with old kitchens, bathrooms, furnishings, and visible cosmetic wear.
- Exterior paint and roof-edge areas show peeling and maintenance needs.
- The home is near a railway station; convenient for Rome access but potential train noise should be checked.
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.
