€38,000 plus an estimated €10,500 of works (€100/m2) gives an effective price of €48,500 (~€462/m2), modestly above the regional median of €425/m2. The house is described as habitable with major 2018 works (roof, bathroom, heating), 32 photos and appears ready to live in, so it’s fair value rather than a standout bargain.
More on the house and the area
Solid, ready-to-live two-storey town house with a working fireplace, recently redone roof (2018) and a refurbished first-floor bathroom — rooms are clean and functional. Excellent value for €38k, but expect some cosmetic updating (dated kitchen) and works to dry/upgrade the cellar and the small service bathroom; street-front location reduces privacy.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/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€4,000 – €6,000
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.
- Basement/cellar shows dampness and mould and will need renovation
- Downstairs WC and storage are very basic and not finished
- Front door opens directly onto the street — limited privacy and possible noise
- Private 15 m² courtyard is mentioned but not shown clearly in the photos
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 58/100The area sits in the hills of the Baronia on the eastern side of the province, with cultivated ridges and small valleys in the Irpinian Apennine hinterland. The Ufita valley is nearby, and the broader landscape is inland Campania rather than a single named destination. Ariano Irpino is the nearest larger hill town, with services, shops and a substantial historic centre. This part of Irpinia is known for grain fields, olive groves and upland rural villages.
