At \u20ac209/m\u00b2 vs regional median \u20ac492/m\u00b2, price is ~57% below baseline\u2014strong headroom. A rustico needs full renovation (~\u20ac600/m\u00b2), so factor total cost: 325m\u00b2 x \u20ac600 \u2248 \u20ac195k reno + \u20ac68k = \u20ac263k all-in (~\u20ac809/m\u00b2), still viable given hillside Bologna B&B potential, garage, garden, and lot of 948m\u00b2. Fresh listing (5 days). Note contradictory sqm (325 in the listing vs ~285/948 in description) and no building year/energy class. 'Needs renovation' means not currently habitable. Solid value if the renovation scope and legal cadastral status check out.
More on the house and the area
Substantial brick rustico (325 sqm) in the Bolognese hills near Monteveglio at just €209/m2 (€68k), on a ~948 sqm wooded lot. Exterior has authentic brick character with wood roof and portico, and renders illustrate an attractive restored country home. However, it is a bare shell requiring full renovation. Setting in green hillside is pleasant but not exceptional; wow is driven mainly by low price and restoration potential rather than any standout view or interior.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€64,000 – €114,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
