See what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed €55,000 for 160 m2 with ~1,500 m2 agricultural + 250 m2 buildable; given “buone condizioni” I estimate minor works ~€100/m2 so effective cost ≈€71,000 (≈€444/m2) versus the local median €396/m2, so a bit above market. Property is habitable with 29 photos and heating, but it has been on the market 300 days (stale listing).
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable village house with intact rooms, a working fireplace and two bathrooms, plus a large 1,500 sqm agricultural plot and 250 sqm buildable land. The setting offers pleasant mountain views and genuine outdoors potential, but the interiors are dated and need updating to make it a comfortable long-term home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Dated interiors and bathrooms — cosmetic modernisation likely needed
- Property sits directly on a small road (limited privacy/curb appeal)
- Rural/remote location so local services may be limited; no energy class shown
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 72/100The Mainarde mountains rise immediately around Filignano on the Molise-Lazio border, with Monte Marrone and the upper Volturno valley in the local landscape. The area lies by the Volturno river system and on the edge of the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise, whose protected mountain terrain extends across this part of the province. The nearest ski area is Campitello Matese, roughly 1 hour 15 minutes by road, which is a logistics fact rather than a feature inside the immediate area. The nearest larger town is Isernia, which has the main services and rail connections for the province. This border area is known for Apennine mountain scenery, beech woods, transhumance country and Second World War sites linked to Monte Marrone and the Volturno line.
