In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €412/m², the asking price is already about 15% above the local €358/m² benchmark before allowing roughly €300/m² to update the largely original upper floor, bringing the effective cost to about €712/m². The renovated ground floor and roof are positives, but the rural setting and APE still being defined limit the value proposition.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, usable country home with a recently renovated ground floor, exposed timber beams, terracotta floors, brick arches, a fitted kitchen, and a large garden opening onto the Emilia-Romagna countryside. The upper level is old-fashioned rather than derelict, while the roof is renovated, making this feel like a livable home with renovation upside rather than a project. At €99,000 for roughly 240 sqm plus garden, it has strong dream-home value despite its plain exterior and rural setting.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/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€24,000 – €40,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is shown/listed for a large 240 sqm house.
- The upper floor remains dated and would benefit from modernization.
- Exterior façades and the covered side structure need cosmetic maintenance; the rural access and utilities should be verified.
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.
