Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €95,000 price for 290 m2 is €328/m2 but after estimating €200/m2 (€≈58k) for works the effective price is ≈€153k or ≈€528/m2, about 25% above the regional median of €423/m2. The listing also omits condition/build year and the text claims 165 m2 while facts list 290 m2, so the size/condition information is contradictory.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful vaulted stone interiors and a large fireplace give this townhouse strong historic charm, and the rooms look lived-in and largely ready to occupy. Outside there’s a private paved courtyard, garden and parking — real usable outdoor space. Overall a very attractive, habitable home that only needs modest updating rather than a full renovation.
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€19,000 – €32,000
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.
- Visible patches of peeling plaster/damp on some walls — some cosmetic repairs needed
- Bathrooms are small and a little dated
- Internal stair is steep — consider mobility/renovation if needed
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 62/100The area sits on the lower hills between the Adriatic coast and the inland Abruzzo uplands. The Sangro river valley is nearby, and the Costa dei Trabocchi on the Adriatic is about 10–15 km away, with trabocchi fishing structures and a cycle route along parts of the former railway line. The nearest larger centre is Chieti, while Lanciano itself has a substantial historic centre and is known for the Eucharistic Miracle shrine and for the Fiera di Sant’Egidio. The Maiella massif is visible farther inland but lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape.
