Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing price €98,000 plus estimated renovation (€700/m² × 86 m² = €60,200) yields an effective cost of ≈€158,200 or ≈€1,840/m² versus the local baseline €636/m², so this is significantly above typical stock; the ad expressly says 'da ristrutturare' and has 19 photos but no clear value drivers (16 km from the sea).
More on the house and the area
A small, single-level country house set in about 1,500 m² of olive trees — a real private plot in the Lazio countryside. The interior is basic but lived-in and serviceable, so the place is immediately usable with cosmetic work and improvements. Good low-cost entry for someone who wants a modest home with land rather than a renovation project or a photogenic historic villa.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Requires renovation and updating (kitchen, bathrooms, finishes).
- Basic, modest interior — not a historic or highly photogenic property.
- Rural, slightly remote location — confirm road access and utilities.
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 46/100The cluster lies in the low coastal plain south of Rome, in flat to gently undulating farmland and suburban fringe country. The Tyrrhenian coast is nearby, with the beaches of the Ardea-Tor San Lorenzo and Marina di Ardea stretch within about 15 km. The area is crossed by small drainage canals and low streams rather than a major river landscape. Rome is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, but this part of the province is primarily lived as outer commuter belt and coastal plain. Ardea is an ancient settlement with archaeological remains linked to ancient Lavinium and Rutuli territory in the wider area, but the immediate landscape is not a protected park or named scenic district.
