Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €58,000 asking price is low at €322/m², and the homes are described as being in good maintenance with a private courtyard, garage and panoramic terrace. However, allowing roughly €200/m² for updates brings the effective cost to about €522/m², above the €421/m² local benchmark; the remote hamlet setting also limits location value.
More on the house and the area
A generous rural townhouse with a solid, roofed main residence, old terrazzo and brick floors, a fireplace, balcony, private garden, and useful outbuildings. It is not a polished dream home: interiors are basic and dated, while the detached rustic structures are effectively renovation projects. At €58,000 for 180 sqm, the size and character give it real bargain appeal.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 main house appears usable but dated, with substantial cosmetic updating needed.
- The detached rustic barn and outbuildings are in poor condition and would require major renovation.
- The garden is overgrown, and the photographs do not clearly establish the quality of the claimed panoramic valley view.
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.
