At €35,000, this complete renovation project would likely require about €88,000 more, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,538/m² versus €425/m² for comparable homes. The garden and 16 photos are positives, but the remote rural location and substantial works make this weak value for a livable-home buyer.
More on the house and the area
This has authentic Lombard courtyard-house character, traditional shutters and tiled roofs, plus a private garden and useful outbuilding. However, the interiors are empty and heavily dated, while the cassero and exterior walls need substantial work, so it is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Complete renovation is required, including dated interiors, damaged plaster and likely full systems/kitchen/bathroom work.
- The property fronts directly onto public streets and has no scenic view or strong privacy.
- The private garden is overgrown and the attached cassero appears substantially deteriorated.
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.
