Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 plus an estimated €8,400 for a habitable apartment, the effective cost is about €2,319/m² versus a local sub-€100k median of €770/m². The existing €430/month tenancy offers roughly a 5.8% gross yield, but the listing does not state the building year or detailed condition.
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€3,000 – €5,000
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.
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 68/100The low northern foothills of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines begin within about 15 km to the south. The Taro river flows close to Collecchio and the Parma river runs through nearby Parma. The Parco Regionale dei Boschi di Carrega, a regional wooded park and former ducal hunting estate, lies within a few kilometres. There are no ski lifts within the 15 km radius; the nearest Apennine ski areas (for example Abetone or Monte Cimone) are roughly 1.5–2 hours by car. Parma is the nearest city (about 15 km away) and offers a main railway station, a university, a large hospital, the Teatro Regio and a small commercial airport (Aeroporto di Parma). Parma is designated as a UNESCO Creative City for gastronomy. The area and province are known for production of Parmigiano-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma, for food-industry clusters around Parma and for lowland agriculture on the Po plain; the Castello di Torrechiara is a named historic castle within about 15 km to the south.
