See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €29,000 purchase price is very low at €161/m², but the house needs renovation; estimated works of about €126,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €861/m² versus a local benchmark of €407/m². The listing does not state the bathrooms or current habitability, adding uncertainty to the substantial renovation budget.
More on the house and the area
A generous traditional Veneto farmhouse with a strong old-world feel, terrazzo floors, original shutters, furnishings, and a private garden. It is a real roofed and furnished house rather than a ruin, but the worn condition and apparent lack of a bathroom make this a serious renovation project before comfortable full-time living.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is explicitly required, with peeling finishes and visibly aged interiors.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, so essential services and habitability need verification.
- Large garden and rural setting are attractive, but the property is surrounded by neighboring homes and agricultural land.
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.
