What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable independent house at 400 EUR/m2 vs 488 median (18% below baseline solid). 70m2, 2 levels, garden, portico, 2 covered parking, cellar, heating. Rustic charm with original features, viable as second home or B&B. Fresh listing (0 days). Only minor gaps: no energy class listed. Habitable condition means renovation is optional/cosmetic, so modest per-m2 estimate for updates. Solid value overall.
More on the house and the area
Rustic Umbrian townhouse in a green, secluous setting near Stroncone. Charming character features include exposed wood beams, a brick archway, wrought-iron spiral staircase, and original patterned floor tiles. The very low price (€28k, €400/m2) creates a modest bargain effect for a habitable rural property with garden, portico and covered parking. However, interiors are dated (1950s kitchen, worn portico ceiling, tired finishes) and there are no standout views or unusual locations. Solid charm and value but not a scroll-stopping wow.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Interiors are dated with worn surfaces and original vintage furnishings needing modernization
- No sea proximity or notable views shown in photos
- Portico ceiling shows peeling/water-stained wood
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.
