Fresh listing (1 day). Attic of equal size in rough state offers expansion potential. Minor cosmetic refresh likely (~150/m2); no major renovation implied by 'Habitable' condition.

More on the house and the area
Large 207sqm townhouse portion in Sigillo, Umbria near Monte Cucco park at a very low €266/m2. The strongest hook is price/space: spacious rooms, independent entrance, terraces, fireplace, plus a raw attic of equal footprint for expansion. However, presentation is dated and dark (red marble floors, aged furnishings), the exterior render is worn, and there is only one bathroom. No dramatic views, historic character, or striking design. The appeal is essentially financial rather than visual, so it reads as ordinary with a modest bargain draw.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€10,000 – €17,000
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 with red marble floors and heavily worn 1960s-70s decor
- Exterior shows peeling plaster and cracked render
- Only 1 bathroom for 207sqm/3 beds
- No energy class provided
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.
