Restore In Italy

Buy a cheap Italian home & restore it into your dream — €5,000 to €30,000

New here? How buying one of these homes works →
  1. Find a home you like and click View listing to open the original source.
  2. Make contact — reach the listing agent or owner via the source link. Restore In Italy never handles money.
  3. Budget the real cost: purchase + full renovation + roughly 10–15% for notary (notaio), agency & taxes.
  4. Verify everything (price, availability, condition) with the agent or owner before paying anything.

  1. The asking price is just the start. These homes are €5,000–€30,000 because they need work — the renovation is the real cost, not the sticker.
  2. Renovation is the true cost. Nearly every home needs a full rebuild — typically tens of thousands of euros (rough guide €1,000–€2,000+ per m², by condition & region). Get a geometra (surveyor) to quote before you commit.
  3. Add ~10–15% for notary (notaio), agency & taxes, on top of purchase + renovation.
  4. You'll likely need an Italian codice fiscale (tax code); most foreign buyers use a local geometra plus a bilingual lawyer.

Every figure here is a typical range, not a quote. Listings are best-effort aggregator data — confirm the price, condition and exactly what's included directly with the agent or owner before acting.

Connect your Google Sheet

Paste the link to your listings sheet. The page reads it live — hit Refresh whenever you want and you'll see every row the agent has logged, without waiting for a daily post.

How do I get the right link? (one-time, 30 seconds)
  1. Open your Google Sheet with the listings.
  2. Top menu: File → Share → Publish to web.
  3. Under Link, pick the listings tab (or “Entire Document”), and set the format to Comma-separated values (.csv).
  4. Click Publish, confirm, then copy the link it gives you.
  5. Paste it above and click Load listings. Done — the link is remembered on this PC.
Also fine: a normal Share → Anyone with the link → Viewer URL — I'll try to read it directly.  •  Photos only appear if the Photo column holds the image URL as text; Google's =IMAGE() formula doesn't export a URL, so blank photos just show a placeholder.
