The €95,000 asking price equals €856/m², roughly double the local €420/m² benchmark before allowing for renovation, so it is not a bargain. The house was renovated in the 2000s, has 111 m² and a central village location, but the price premium is only partly supported by its condition and practicality.
More on the house and the area
A well-kept, renovated village house with a functional fitted kitchen, finished bathroom, bedroom balcony, and a pleasant paved courtyard. It is clearly a real, usable home rather than a renovation project, but the architecture and setting are practical rather than especially beautiful or dramatic.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/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€6,000 – €9,000
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.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs.
- The home is in a dense village-center setting with narrow access and no clearly visible private parking.
- The outdoor courtyard is useful but modest and currently quite cluttered.
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.
