Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at €28,000 for 77 m2 (€364/m2). Assuming habitable (condition not stated) and €200/m2 for works gives an effective ≈€564/m2 vs regional median €677/m2 — a clear discount; 33 photos and a central village location near Rieti support the assumed condition.
More on the house and the area
A small, solid semi‑detached village house with sunny rooms and a lovely green hill backdrop — the views and village setting are the best asset. Interiors are intact and liveable but dated, so expect cosmetic and systems updates rather than a full rebuild. At €28k this is a genuine bargain for someone wanting a workable home near services, not a move‑in designer showpiece.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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.
- Exterior and façade are worn and will need renovation/paint and possible repairs
- Interior is dated — windows, kitchen and bathrooms need updating for modern living
- Main entrance/stairs are external and the house sits on a street (possible traffic/noise)
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 61/100The cluster sits in the upper Velino valley with the Monte Terminillo group close to the west and the wider Apennine relief around the basin. The Velino river runs through this part of the province. Part of the area falls within the Monte Terminillo regional landscape protection system, and the Monti della Laga and Gran Sasso are farther east beyond the 15 km landscape radius. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo above Leonessa, roughly 25–35 km away depending on the access road. Rieti is the nearest town of size, with services, a historic centre and a railway connection toward Terni. Cittaducale itself is known as a planned small town of Angevin foundation with a regular historic layout.
