What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €18,000 for 89 sqm, the ask is just €202/sqm; assuming a habitable/buono stato refresh of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is ~€402/sqm, essentially in line with the very low Basilicata townhouse baseline of €408/sqm. Historic-center position, terrace/balcony, 17 photos and a clear description support it as a solid low-entry-price deal rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable little town house rather than a ruin, with patterned vintage floors, a stone entry surround and a tiny balcony adding some character. But the setting is ordinary with no real view, and the home feels very dated, with basic finishes and some worn lower-level spaces that would need attention. At €18k the price helps, yet this is more practical bargain project than dream-home wow.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Very dated interiors and basic kitchen need modernization.
- Some exterior/terrace surfaces and lower-level spaces show wear and possible damp issues.
- The second bedroom is described as windowless (cameretta cieca).
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 58/100Grassano stands on the clay hills of inland Basilicata, in the Bradano valley country. The Bradano River runs nearby, and the wider landscape is a mix of cultivated hills, ravines and badlands typical of this part of the Matera hinterland. Matera is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Sassi districts. This area is known for wheat farming and for the calanchi landscapes found across the Materano interior.
