EUR 20,000 plus estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€86,800) gives an effective price ≈€106,800 or ≈€861/m², well above the local median €417/m². The house is central with utilities present and 10 photos, but the large renovation budget makes this an overpriced project.
More on the house and the area
A solid, roofed two‑storey town house with balcony, working fireplace, marble stair and two bathrooms — mains water, electricity and heating are present. It’s clearly livable but needs cosmetic renovation and some damp repairs; excellent low‑price opportunity for someone wanting a usable home to upgrade.
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€24,000 – €44,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property needs general renovation (interior and exterior plaster/finishes).
- Visible damp/peeling plaster in places that will need repair.
- Bathrooms and tiles are very dated and will require updating.
- Gas is available but the meter is reportedly missing — check connections/activation.
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 inland Apennine hills on the Campania–Basilicata–Puglia watershed, with open ridges, cultivated slopes and wind-exposed uplands. Lake Saetta lies by Lacedonia and the Ofanto valley is nearby. The nearest larger centres are Melfi and Ariano Irpino, which provide the main services and transport for this part of the interior. This is a borderland of grain fields, pasture and hill villages rather than a place with a single widely known landmark.
