What makes it different

The only one
already finished.

Four other apartments in this same building are currently on the market. All four are sold as-is, requiring complete renovation. This is the only one where the work is already done, documented and certified — and the only one with two en-suite bathrooms.

Complete renovation
Every system rebuilt from scratch: electrical, plumbing, heating. All finishes replaced. Full technical documentation and invoices available.
Two furnished en-suite bathrooms
Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, fully fitted and furnished. No other apartment in the building offers this layout.
Smart home, built in
Home automation with central control, WiFi air conditioning and wired LAN in every room — installed during the renovation, not retrofitted afterwards.
You pay only what you use
Central heating with individual heat meters and thermostatic valves on every radiator. Your bill reflects your own consumption, not a fixed share.
Reinforced security door
High-specification armoured entrance door. Insect screens fitted to every window and balcony opening.
Energy class A
Apartment rated A1. Building rated B following a full envelope upgrade — external insulation, triple glazing, solar panels, condensing boiler.
Independent hot water
Dedicated gas water heater. Domestic hot water does not depend on the building's communal system.
Legally clear, ready to complete
Energy certificate, compliant cadastral plan and building permits all current and in hand. Nothing pending, no surprises at the notary.

Cost comparison

Buy and renovate,
or buy it finished?

The arithmetic is straightforward. Buying the closest comparable apartment in this same building and bringing it to this standard costs more than the asking price here — and takes four to six months.

Option A: buy and renovate

Unrenovated apartment, same building € 129,000
Equivalent full renovation (systems, finishes, bathrooms, kitchen, fittings, lighting) € 115,000
Architect, site supervision, project management and contingency € 15,000
Four to six months during which the property is unusable Not quantified
Estimated total € 259,000+

€ 10,000 more than the asking price here — plus four to six months of building work to commission, supervise and pay for.

Option B: this apartment, ready now

Renovated, tested and certified apartment € 249,000
Additional building costs € 0
Months before you can move in None
New systems, certified to current standards ✓ Included
Smart home installed ✓ Included
Complete legal documentation ✓ Ready
Risk of cost overruns None
Asking price € 249,000

€ 10,000 less than renovating — with no overruns, no supervision and no waiting.

Total cost at completion
This apartment — € 249,000
€ 249,000 — available immediately
Buy and renovate — € 259,000, plus four to six months of building work and double housing costs meanwhile
€ 259,000 — four to six months away
This apartment — fixed cost, immediate availability
The alternative — variable cost, four to six month build
The same building

Four neighbours,
all still to be done

These are the other apartments currently for sale in this building. The asking prices are lower, but each figure is a starting point: none of them is habitable without a full renovation.

Unit Area Floor Condition Bathrooms Asking price Price / sqm
This apartment 118 sqm 1st Fully renovated 2 × en-suite € 249,000 € 2,110
Apartment A 87 sqm 3rd Needs full renovation 2 € 119,000 € 1,368
Apartment B 106 sqm 5th Needs full renovation 1 € 145,000 € 1,368
Apartment C 115 sqm 2nd Needs full renovation 2 € 130,000 € 1,130
Apartment D 115 sqm 1st Needs full renovation 2 € 129,000 € 1,122

Add roughly € 1,100–1,200 per sqm for a renovation to this standard, and the finished cost of any of these exceeds € 2,200 per sqm. Asking prices as publicly advertised at the time of writing.

Before and after

The same space,
documented

One room, two conditions. The renovation replaced every system and every finish. These photographs show the starting point and the result.

Condition before works
Before Original condition
Condition after works
After Completed

What the renovation covered Electrical and plumbing systems rebuilt entirely to current standards. Heating fitted with individual heat meters. All finishes replaced: floors, wall tiling, internal doors. Both bathrooms rebuilt and furnished. LED spotlighting throughout. Home automation, LAN cabling and WiFi air conditioning designed into the works rather than added afterwards. Every item is supported by a regular invoice.

Energy performance

A building and a flat
that cost little to run

Italian properties are rated from G (worst) to A4 (best). Most of the housing stock in this part of Italy sits at E, F or G. This building is rated B and this apartment A1.

B Building rating

External wall insulation, triple-glazed low-emissivity windows, communal solar panels, condensing boiler.

A1 Apartment rating

Internal works on systems and envelope. Current energy performance certificate available on request.

Done Envelope upgrade

The building's insulation and glazing works are complete and paid for under Italy's Ecobonus scheme. Nothing outstanding, no future levy on the buyer.

Metered Heating costs

Heat meters and thermostatic valves on every radiator. You are billed for your own consumption, not a fixed share of the building's total.

Where it is

Cassino: between Rome
and Naples, in the hills

A town of 33,000 in southern Lazio, on the main road and rail line between Italy's two largest cities. Best known internationally for the Abbey of Monte Cassino and the 1944 battles fought around it.

History on the doorstep
The Abbey of Monte Cassino, founded by Saint Benedict in the sixth century, sits ten minutes above the town. The Polish, German and Commonwealth war cemeteries draw visitors from across Europe, North America and Australia year round.
Mountains, parks and coast
The Comino Valley and the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park — home to the Marsican brown bear and Apennine wolf — begin a short drive away. The ski slopes at Roccaraso and the Tyrrhenian coast are both around an hour by car.
A working town, not a museum
Cassino has its own university and sits within one of central Italy's more active industrial districts. Shops, schools, hospital and station are all within walking distance of the apartment.

Possible uses

One apartment,
several possibilities.

Two bedrooms with private bathrooms and a self-contained day area make this property adaptable. Which option suits you depends on what you are looking for.

A permanent home
Two bedrooms each with private bathroom, a generous living room, a separate eat-in kitchen and a utility room. A layout that works for a family or for two people who want their own space. Nothing to do before moving in.
A base in Italy
Well suited to anyone who wants a foothold in Italy without a renovation project. Lock-up-and-leave: high energy efficiency, metered heating, remote-controllable climate and a secure entrance door mean low running costs and little to worry about while you are away.
Long-term letting
Two en-suite bedrooms allow the rooms to be let separately — to university staff, researchers or professionals working in the local industrial district. LAN cabling and WiFi climate control are genuine differentiators for that kind of tenant.
Short-term or holiday letting
The layout suits guest accommodation: two bedrooms with private bathrooms and home automation that supports remote check-in. Local tourism runs across all four seasons rather than peaking in summer. Any projected returns would depend on management, occupancy and applicable rules, and are not guaranteed.

A written offer, then a binding preliminary contract with a deposit
Deposit typically 10–20%
Binding
4 · Notary checks
An independent public notary verifies title, planning compliance and any charges on the property
Chosen and paid for by the buyer
Your protection
5 · Completion
Final deed signed before the notary. A power of attorney can be used if you cannot attend in person
Keys handed over the same day
Final

A note on costs and advice Purchase taxes and notary fees in Italy vary according to whether the property will be your main residence, your tax residency and your personal circumstances. They are payable by the buyer and are additional to the asking price. This page is not legal or tax advice: please take independent professional advice on your own position before committing. I am selling privately, so no estate agency commission arises on this sale.

Arrange
a viewing

Sold privately by the owner. No estate agency, no buyer's commission. The full document pack is available from the first viewing.

If you are abroad, I am happy to arrange a video walkthrough at a time that suits your time zone, and to answer questions by email or WhatsApp before you travel.
