See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €95k for 360 m² but requires heavy renovation (~€700/m² ≈ €252k), so effective cost ≈ €347k or ≈€964/m². Large plot (1,800 m²), garage and outbuildings and sea view add value, but the renovation burden makes the price well above typical local levels.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid three‑level house with real sea views, 1,800 m² of land and olive trees — a rare amount of space for the price. Interiors are liveable in places (kitchen, living) but significant cosmetic and some structural work is needed (unfinished attic, damaged skirting/floors). Great bargain for someone willing to renovate and capitalise on the panoramic setting.
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€71,000 – €126,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Requires renovation: plaster, floors and some damp/paint damage visible in bedrooms.
- Upper-level attic/soffitta needs finishing; some outbuildings are basic and likely need work.
- No energy/class information — heating exists but upgrades probable.
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 62/100The area sits on the lower hills between the Adriatic coast and the inland Abruzzo uplands. The Sangro river valley is nearby, and the Costa dei Trabocchi on the Adriatic is about 10–15 km away, with trabocchi fishing structures and a cycle route along parts of the former railway line. The nearest larger centre is Chieti, while Lanciano itself has a substantial historic centre and is known for the Eucharistic Miracle shrine and for the Fiera di Sant’Egidio. The Maiella massif is visible farther inland but lies beyond the immediate 15 km landscape.
