The asking price is only €196/m², but estimated renovation of about €700/m² raises the all-in cost to roughly €896/m², far above the €368/m² comparison level. The listing reports no bathrooms and does not state the construction year or energy class, so the renovation scope needs careful verification.
More on the house and the area
A large independent home with 195 m², three bedrooms, two kitchens, two bathrooms, private garden space and a substantial olive-growing plot offers real rural-living potential at a very low price. However, it is not move-in ready: moisture problems, absent heating and additional collapsing structures make this a serious renovation project rather than an immediately usable dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€39,000 – €69,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Needs substantial renovation and has reported rising damp in rooms facing the road.
- Heating is absent and no energy certificate is available.
- The property includes two collapsing units, so the total complex is partly derelict.
- Judicial-auction purchase requires careful review of the survey, legality and renovation costs.
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.
