What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Although the €95,000 asking price is €540/m², the house is explicitly in need of renovation; at an estimated €1,100/m², the effective cost is about €1,639/m² versus roughly €570/m² for comparable local stock. The large 176 m² layout, 100 m² attic, garden and garage add potential, but do not offset the heavy renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely usable old farmhouse-style townhouse with three large bedrooms, a garage, private green space and appealing period details such as shutters, terrazzo floors and exposed beams. It is livable but very dated, with worn interiors, an old kitchen and bathroom, and significant cosmetic modernization needed rather than a simple refresh.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€70,000 – €103,000
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.
- Clearly dated and described as needing renovation, especially the kitchen, bathroom and finishes.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large three-bedroom house.
- The garden appears overgrown and its final ownership/fractioning should be confirmed.
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 63/100The cluster sits in the first Parma Apennine hills, with ridges and wooded slopes rising south toward the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The Parma and Baganza valleys structure this part of the province, with mixed farmland, woods and small hill settlements. The Parco Regionale delle Valli del Cedra e del Parma begins farther up the Parma valley, with the Boschi di Carrega regional park closer to the north-west near Collecchio. The nearest larger town is Parma, which provides the full set of city services, rail links and a substantial historic centre. The area is known above all for Prosciutto di Parma, with Langhirano at the centre of its production zone and the Torrechiara castle hill area nearby as a local landmark.
