Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The home is described as immediately habitable, but the effective cost is about €1,090/m² (€89,000 plus estimated upkeep), versus roughly €390/m² for comparable local stock. The large garden and independent outbuildings add utility, but the listing does not say when the property was built and the F energy rating limits the value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely independent country house with a warm rustic façade, exposed brick details, traditional shutters, a wood-burning stove, and a large private garden surrounded by greenery. The main 100 sqm home appears immediately livable with three bedrooms, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, though it is plain and somewhat dated rather than beautifully finished. The attached stables, hayloft, portico, garage, oven and outbuildings add strong rural character and future potential.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €11,000
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 house is usable but dated, with basic kitchen and bathroom finishes.
- The large garden and attached agricultural buildings appear overgrown and will require substantial clearing and maintenance.
- Roof, heating, utilities, and the condition of the stables/fienile should be checked carefully.
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.
