At €138/m², the €43,970 price is attractive; allowing about €200/m² for updates to a habitable 318 m² home gives an effective cost of roughly €338/m² versus a €372 local benchmark. The listing has 18 photos and heating, but it does not say how many bathrooms the property has.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuinely livable rural villa with warm exposed timber beams, terracotta floors, a fitted kitchen, multiple bedrooms and usable bathrooms. The landscaped outdoor space and agricultural setting add lifestyle appeal, while the character is attractive rather than spectacular and there is no proven sea or mountain view.
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€21,000 – €35,000
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.
- Auction purchase: legal, occupancy and debt documentation need careful verification.
- The rural driveway and surrounding grounds look basic and may need maintenance or improvement.
- Interior finishes and furnishings are dated, despite the home appearing usable.
- Verify utilities, heating performance and the discrepancy between the listed bathroom count and the photographed bathrooms.
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.
