What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 450 m², the purchase price is only about €144/m², but the house requires a complete renovation of systems, finishes, windows, and roof. At roughly €1,244/m² after renovation, it is far above the local €374/m² reference, with no location premium mentioned.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€178,000 – €263,000
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.
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 38/100This is the central Po plain around Novellara, with flat agricultural land crossed by drainage canals and minor watercourses; the River Po is north of the area. Guastalla is the nearest larger centre, and Reggio Emilia is the main city in the wider area with full services and rail connections. The area is known for intensive farming and dairying linked to Parmigiano Reggiano, and for the lowland landscape of the Bassa Reggiana.
