Large habitable villa 385 m2 priced €74,756 becomes ~€151,756 with a modest €200/m2 overhaul (≈€394/m2), about 40% above the Piemonte median of €281/m2; the size and condition are fine but the effective price is high. The listing does not state number of bathrooms or energy class, which weakens the buy-side clarity.
More on the house and the area
A large, traditional rural farmhouse with attached barns and a generous plot — clearly a usable, habitable home with a covered terrace and garage. It’s more working farm/utility than show home, but at this price and size it’s a real bargain if you want country space and are willing to tidy and modernise.
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€25,000 – €43,000
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.
- No interior photos provided so internal condition/finishes are unclear
- Courtyard and outbuildings appear cluttered and will need clearing/cosmetic work
- High‑voltage power lines/pylon are visible close to the plot
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.
