Listing price EUR 72k for 200 m² but description says the structure is 'da completare'; I estimate EUR 700/m² (EUR 140k) for completion, so effective ~EUR 1,060/m² versus regional median ~EUR 396/m², making it overpriced. The ad has been online 300 days (stale_listing) and the 'Renovated' claim contradicts the text.
More on the house and the area
Large 200 m² two‑storey shell with the roof and terrace in place on about 600 m² of green land close to the village, offering pleasant hill views. The structure is sound but the interior is completely unfinished, so it’s a project for someone ready to do a full completion rather than a move‑in home.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Unfinished shell — interior is bare brick and concrete with no windows, doors or finishes
- No visible services or interior fittings (electrical, plumbing, bathrooms/kitchen) — full fit‑out required
- Will need completion work and possible permits to finish as a habitable home
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 nearest town of size is Isernia, which has rail links, services and a preserved historic centre. The area is known for the abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno and for mountain pasture, woodland and transhumance country on the Molise-Abruzzo-Lazio border.
