Listing price €19,000 (≈€211/m2) but the ad describes a renovation project and does not state condition, so I estimate €700/m2 in works; that gives an effective ≈€911/m2 versus the local median €371/m2, making this an overpriced renovation prospect despite the good photos and garden.
More on the house and the area
A characterful stone semi‑detached house with an original wood/brick oven, a small garden and pleasant hill/valley views. The structure is standing and partly patched, but interiors are a bare shell needing complete refurbishment and installation of services before living in.
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€18,000 – €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.
- Property is a largely raw, dusty shell requiring full interior renovation (no finished floors, kitchen or bathroom visible).
- Utilities and heating likely absent or need reconnection; confirm existing services on-site.
- Some rooms show recent concrete/brick ceiling work — check permits and structural reports.
- Access via unpaved village road and small, village garden/plot only.
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 is in the inland Campanian hills between the Taburno massif and the Volturno valley. The Isclero river runs by Sant'Agata de' Goti, and the town is known for its historic centre set on a tuff spur above a gorge. The Taburno-Camposauro Regional Park lies to the east within this part of the province, with wooded limestone slopes and mountain roads. The nearest larger city is Caserta, which provides major services, rail links and the Royal Palace. The area is known for vineyards, olive groves and orchards, with wine production in the wider Sannio zone.
