Asking price €73,800 plus an estimated €200/m² renovation (€26,400) yields an effective €759/m² vs the local median €435/m², so the effective price is well above typical Lombardy values. The house is described as habitable with many photos, garage and modern services, which reduces risk but does not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
Solid, habitable mountain villa with wooden beams, stone details and a sunny terrace overlooking green hills — a pleasant natural setting. Interiors are lived-in and functional but need cleaning, cosmetic refresh and attention to damp/ceiling issues before comfortable long-term living.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Roadside location with limited privacy and potential traffic noise
- Visible damp/mould and ceiling damage in the bathroom — requires repair
- Property is cluttered and needs decluttering and cosmetic updating
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.
