Price €89,000 plus estimated renovation €36,000 (200 €/m2) yields an effective €~694/m2, well above the local median €432/m2. Central town location and sea 4 km are positives, but the listing does not state the property condition so this looks like a fair, not bargain, deal.
More on the house and the area
Attractive corner brick townhouse with original patterned tiles, high vaulted ceilings and iron balconies — lots of historic character. Structurally intact and clearly a livable home that will benefit from modernization; great value for the size and location.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Located on a main street so traffic and limited privacy.
- Cosmetic updating needed (plaster cracks, old windows, likely kitchen/bath refresh).
- No private garden and no direct sea view despite short distance to the coast.
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 51/100The Adriatic coast is within about 5 km, with the seafront of San Salvo Marina and the broad beaches that continue toward Vasto and Montenero di Bisaccia. The lower Trigno valley is part of the local landscape near the Molise border. The nearest larger town is Vasto, which has services, a historic centre and a port area. This stretch of coast is known for beach tourism, seafront resort development and intensive cultivation on the flat ground behind the shore.
