Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000, the property starts at €350/m², but the second dwelling needs renovation; allowing about €500/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €850/m². That is substantially above the €261/m² local comparison level, although the immediately habitable unit, sound roofs, private courtyard, and strong photo coverage support the listing.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, characterful Piedmont farmhouse with attractive exposed brick vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, balconies, covered portico and a generous private garden. One two-bedroom unit appears genuinely livable now, while the second unit needs renovation, making it a real home with expansion potential rather than a simple ruin.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- The property is partly divided: one dwelling is described as immediately habitable, while the second requires renovation.
- Interiors are functional but dated, with older kitchen and furnishings needing modernization.
- No notable panoramic view is shown in the gallery.
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.
