Grant for private properties: regeneration of areas at risk of dereliction

This is an incentive scheme aimed at revitalising built-up areas at risk of abandonment, as identified by the Provincial Executive.

It supports individuals who renovate properties in respect of which they hold, or will hold within six months of the date of submission of the application, a real right (ownership or other registered real right), and who use them as the applicant’s main residence or let them at a moderate rent for at least ten years from the completion of the works covered by the grant.

Eligible projects involve the renovation of residential units intended as a main residence (for the applicant or a tenant paying a moderate rent); additional renovation works on the external parts of the same building, where the residential unit is being renovated, may be carried out at the same time. It also supports the purchase of the residential unit undergoing renovation or refurbishment, taking place after 29 April 2025 and within six months of the submission of the grant application.

The grant available for building renovation works on the property is equal to:

• 40 per cent of the eligible expenditure, with a maximum of 200,000 euros and a minimum of 10,000 euros, if the residential unit forms part of a historic settlement or a scattered historic settlement
• 35 per cent of the eligible expenditure, with a maximum of €200,000 and a minimum of €10,000 in all other cases

In the case of the purchase of a residential unit undergoing restoration or redevelopment, the grant is increased by an amount equal to 20 per cent of the contract price, net of tax charges, up to a maximum of €20,000.

This scheme cannot be combined with other grants for the same expenditure, in accordance with the provisions governing the cumulation of funding at EU level.

Applicants must identify the costs relating to the works, breaking them down into internal and external works in accordance with the types of works described in more detail in the criteria. By way of example, but not limited to, eligible expenses for interior works (up to €125,000) include: floors, walls, internal doors and windows, plumbing, heating (excluding photovoltaic panels), electrical systems, and internal staircases not serving communal areas; those relating to external works (work on the entire building or on visible façades) include: roof, masonry, architectural features, staircases, balconies, paving and fencing.

Technical costs are also eligible for funding, up to a limit of 10 per cent of the eligible expenditure for each category (interiors and exteriors).

Expenses invoiced from the date of approval of the criteria are eligible.

For each building unit, a single application may be submitted covering all the residential units eligible for the grant.

In the case of multiple residential units, up to a maximum of THREE residential units per building unit are eligible, and these may also be submitted by a single applicant.

Applications will be assessed in chronological order of receipt. Priority will be given to properties in historic settlements, to those intended as a primary residence, and to applicants aged under 45 on the date of submission of the application.

For further information on the criteria, please refer to Provincial Council Resolution No. 592 of 29 April 2025, available in the related documents.

The building units must NOT be organised as a block of flats; they may comprise up to a maximum of 8 property units; and they must not be registered in the Land Registry under categories A1 (stately homes), A8 (villas) or A9 (castles and palaces).

Within one year of the declaration of completion of works, where applicable, or of the certificate of completion of works, grant recipients must be registered as residents at the property for which the grant was awarded, or a formal tenancy agreement must have been signed at a moderate rent for the purposes of a primary residence with an eligible tenant.

The property must be maintained as a main residence for at least ten years.

This restriction on use is recorded in the land register in accordance with Article 24-quinquies of Provincial Law No. 3 of 16 June 2006, in compliance with the provisions of Article 2645-quater of the Civil Code.

The purchase of ownership or any other real right of enjoyment of the property from relatives and in-laws up to the first degree and/or from sole traders or companies linked to them is not eligible for the grant.

It is prohibited to combine this grant with other public funding, including tax deductions, relating to the same project over the last ten years.

These measures may not be combined with works that form part of the expenditure covered by a loan whose interest is financed under the call for applications referred to in Resolution No. 436 dated 28 March 2025 (Grant for Energy-Efficiency Renovation and Upgrading – 2025 Call for Applications)

The CUP (Unique Project Code) for the following measure is: C18J25000290001. Once communicated to the beneficiary, this code must be indicated on every invoice and payment relating to the expenditure to be reported. For invoices issued prior to the communication of the CUP, a specific declaration must be completed to confirm the traceability of the expenditure items and payments.

Individuals who renovate properties which they currently occupy, or will occupy within six months of the date of submission of the application, hold a real right to the property, with a view to using it as the applicant’s main residence or for rent at a moderate rate within one year of the completion of the works and for at least ten years from the completion of the works covered by the grant.

Where the residential unit covered by the grant is used as a primary residence, the applicant must not be registered as a resident in the local authority area where the property is situated as at 6 August 2024; this requirement does not apply if the applicant has not reached the age of 45 by the date of submission of the application.

Applications for funding must be submitted via the dedicated online platform (Stanza del cittadino). You can view the guidance on completing the application in the related documents.

The application is submitted by the applicant following authentication using a digital identity (SPID, CIE, CPS/CNS).
