See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €42,000 price is attractive at €400/m², but the house needs substantial renovation, including old electrical systems, interior works and a solution for the missing municipal sewer connection. Estimated total costs bring it to roughly €1,250/m², well above the €705/m² level for comparable homes, so the apparent discount is largely absorbed by the work.
More on the house and the area
This is an authentic Tuscan court house with exposed beams, traditional ceilings, a large masonry fireplace, and a useful 70 sqm forecourt for parking. It is not a move-in-ready dream home: the kitchen and interiors are dated, surfaces need renewal, and one room shows serious ceiling and floor deterioration. At €42,000 for 105 sqm near Lucca, the character and price create real potential for a renovation-minded buyer.
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, €850/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €37,000
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 needed, including finishes, old electrical systems, and at least one severely deteriorated room/ceiling.
- No municipal sewer connection; water is supplied by a well.
- The small outbuilding is described as being in a dilapidated condition.
- No scenic view or private landscaped garden is shown.
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.
The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Lucca, so the resident setting is the city rather than open countryside. The Apuan Alps rise to the north-west within this part of the province. The Serchio river plain runs beside the city. Lucca has a complete ring of Renaissance walls around the historic centre, a large stock of churches and towers, and regular city services, rail links and shops. The area is known for the walled old city and for olive hills and villas on the nearby Lucchesia slopes.
