At €500/m², the €80,000 asking price is already above the local €420/m² benchmark, and allowing roughly €200/m² for the unfinished attic and remaining personalization raises the effective cost further. The 6 kW photovoltaic system, battery, hybrid heating and new windows are positives, but the overall condition and renovation scope are not clearly stated.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable, renovated village house with excellent character: exposed beams, brick walls, terracotta floors, and a well-equipped kitchen create a warm Italian atmosphere. The photovoltaic system, battery storage, hybrid heating, and modern windows add practical appeal, while the main living spaces appear move-in ready. Its setting is an ordinary built-up courtyard rather than a scenic or spacious location, and the unfinished attic limits the overall wow factor.
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€11,000 – €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.
- The top-floor attic is unfinished and currently a renovation project.
- No private garden, terrace, or notable landscape view is shown.
- The home has only one bathroom and some interiors feel dated, especially the wood-paneled areas.
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.
