An Ogre gifted my Party his old house in Altdorf, it has broken floorbords on the second floor, the entrance door is ripped off and the frame is damaged, one room was used for butchering and one as a toilet (it was not a toilet) and some other little stuff. I estimate the costs for repairing everything to be around 500 Gold, do you guys think this is reasonable? I didn't find anything in the rulebooks concerning property and repair costs.

So the house itself was a gift, no charge right? And we are only talking repairs? To what standard are you repairing, that of a noble?

If you aim to create a "silver"-level house, then repairs wouldn't exceed 2GC and that is being generous.

Labor costs are next to nothing in (pseudo) medieval times. People are worthless. The lumber will be more expensive, but a door, a doorframe and 1 floor isn't so bad. The rest - cleaning up poop and blood - is labor. That is paid in Brass pennies and wouldn't take more than a few people a few days. Barely amounts to a silver or two.

For 500G you can buy a brand new townhouse in a nice-ish part of town.

Charege it a labour and materials cost - a cleaner is 15d per day and a journeyman carpenter is maybe 3 shillings per day. Say it takes 3 days of the carpenters time and 6 days for a cleaner then you are looking at 9 shillings + 90 d = 13 shillings 10d. Then you add in materials of maybe 5 shillings. So you would be looking at 18/10 so about a crown and a half. So Backgammon seems pretty much on the button. Maybe the damage is very bad and you double the costs, sill less than 4 crowns.
