At €57,000 plus an estimated €36,400 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,796/m² versus roughly €352/m² for comparable local stock. The property is centrally located and well documented with 26 photos, but the small size and renovation requirement make the asking price difficult to justify.
More on the house and the area
The exposed brick, old timber beams, tiled roof and patterned brickwork give this compact farmhouse some authentic historic character. However, the photos show a cluttered, unfinished shell with bare concrete floors and no livable facilities, so it is a renovation project rather than a home ready for 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€10,000 – €18,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- This is an unfinished rustico/workshop rather than a usable home, with no visible kitchen or bathroom.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including floors, services, interiors and likely insulation/heating.
- The roof structure appears present, but its condition and compliance should be professionally checked.
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.
