In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
€45,000 for 150 m²; habitable condition so I estimate €200/m² renovation (≈€30,000) giving an effective price ≈€75,000 (≈€500/m²) vs the Campania median €423/m². Solid features (double-glazed PVC, fireplace, garage) but effective €/m² is above the regional median, so this looks overpriced.
More on the house and the area
A solid, liveable 150 m² town house with attractive original features — exposed wooden beams, marble staircase and a working fireplace — that feel characterful and immediately habitable. Requires mostly cosmetic updates, but at €45k it’s a genuine bargain for someone who wants a spacious, characterful home in Campania.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Cosmetic updating needed (bathrooms, some finishes and flooring).
- No garden or scenic views — town-centre location.
- Check attic water tank/autoclave and service systems 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 56/100This is hill country in the Irpinia interior, with cultivated slopes, wooded patches and small valleys around the Sabato basin. The Sabato river runs nearby toward Avellino and Benevento. Monti Picentini lie to the south-east, but the main mountain mass is outside the immediate 15 km radius. Avellino is the nearest town of size, with full services, shops, schools and rail and road links. The area is known for vineyards and wine production in the Aglianico di Taurasi zone, along with olive growing and mixed agriculture.
