Asking €15,000 but requires full renovation estimated at €700/m² (210 m² → ~€147,000), giving an effective price ≈€162,000 or ≈€770/m², about twice the regional median of €391/m², so it reads as overpriced for a full-renovation project.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic historic townhouse with vaulted rooms, original beams, a fireplace, attic and a small private courtyard with an impressive old tree. The building is roofed and has floors and cellars, but needs comprehensive renovation and service upgrades — a great low‑price project for someone wanting an authentic character home close to the sea.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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.

The area around
Location score 56/100The cluster sits on the low inland hills above the Adriatic side of Molise, with cultivated countryside running down toward the Biferno valley and the coast. The Adriatic coast around Termoli is within this radius, and the lower Biferno river system shapes the plain to the south-west. Termoli is the nearest town of size, with a port, rail station, hospital and a walled old town on the sea. This part of lower Molise is known for grain fields, olive groves and a broad agricultural landscape rather than for a single protected or monumental site inside the immediate area.
