Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
As listed: price €79,000, 140 m2 and I estimate renovation ~€200/m2 -> effective cost ~€107,000 (≈€764/m2), well above the local median of €432/m2. Main living floors appear habitable and there is a photovoltaic system, but the large 80 m2 mansard is “al grezzo” with a very low minimum height and will require conversion, so this is not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roomy semi‑detached house with a small garden, balcony and large, well‑lit rooms (big kitchen with fireplace). The main floors are immediately habitable but a little dated; the large attic is unfinished so extra living space requires work. Good value for the size and location, especially with existing photovoltaic panels.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Mansarda (80 sqm) is 'al grezzo' and needs finishing
- Only one bathroom for whole house
- Interior finishes are dated and would benefit from cosmetic renovation
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 70/100The cluster sits on the Apennine foothills immediately north of the Sirente massif; Monte Sirente is roughly 8–10 km to the south. The area is inside or adjacent to the Sirente‑Velino regional natural park (Parco Regionale Sirente‑Velino). To the east and northeast is the Piana di Navelli (Navelli plain), with the town of Navelli a few kilometres away. The Navelli area is known for saffron production (zafferano di Navelli). Nearest alpine-style ski lifts are on the Monte Magnola / Ovindoli area, about 25–30 km by road (roughly 30–40 minutes). The nearest city of size is L'Aquila, about 20–25 km away, offering a university, hospital, railway connections and provincial-level services.
