What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listing is an industrial building (plus office/annex) of 1,900 m² sold for €1,000: the ad gives no photos or clear condition. Converting/fully restoring industrial space would plausibly cost ~€1,100/m², yielding an effective ~€1,101/m² vs regional median ~€275/m², so this is overpriced for a residential buyer.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€752,000 – €1,112,000
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.
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 52/100The cluster sits in the plain/valley around Venafro at the western edge of Molise, close to the regional border with Campania. The area is the Venafro plain/Valle del Volturno with low surrounding hills rather than high mountains. Agricultural land and small towns and villages dominate the local landscape within about 15 km. There are no national parks or UNESCO designations inside a 15 km radius. The nearest town of size is Venafro itself (local services, shops and municipal facilities); the provincial capital Isernia lies further east (outside 15 km). Ski lifts on the Matese massif and the Tyrrhenian coast are both beyond the 15 km radius (the sea is about 38 km away).
