At €595/m², the asking price is about 30% below comparable local apartments, and the garage adds value. However, the listing does not say whether the home is habitable or needs renovation; allowing roughly €700/m² for an unknown condition brings the effective cost to about €1,295/m², above the local comparison level.
More on the house and the area
A neat, well-maintained rural Emilia-Romagna apartment with attractive shutters, a sound-looking roof, tidy paving, and open farmland immediately nearby. It appears to be a real, usable home rather than a renovation shell, but the lack of interior images and absent bathroom information prevent a stronger score.
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€17,000 – €30,000
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, so the actual finish and livability cannot be verified.
- The listing records zero bathrooms, which may indicate missing data or a significant practical issue.
- No private garden or terrace is evident; the home sits in a compact residential development beside farmland.
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.
