I used €200/m² for a 'Habitable' unit: effective price ≈ €100,340 or ~€303/m² versus the regional median €375/m², a clear discount. Listing includes 35 photos and autonomous heating, but the data shows 0 bathrooms and the description is odd — verify bathrooms and services before buying.
More on the house and the area
The main two‑storey villa appears solid and habitable with a balcony and a private lawn, so you could move in or lightly refresh it. However there are several rough annexes and a detached unfinished shell that need substantial work — factor those renovation costs in despite the low price.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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.
- Detached outbuildings / separate shell are rough and will need major renovation
- Some facades and finishes show wear and mixed repairs — cosmetic and structural works likely
- No interior photos of principal living spaces/bathrooms to fully confirm condition
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 40/100This is the lower Friulian plain between the Tagliamento and Stella river systems, with flat agricultural land, canals, drainage ditches and scattered villages. The nearest larger town is Latisana, which provides rail access, supermarkets and routine services; Udine is the main city for higher-level services. The Adriatic coast around Lignano Sabbiadoro is outside the immediate landscape and does not change the character of the area. The area is known for intensive farming and vineyard country across the Friuli plain.
