At €212/m² before works, this mixed complex is already above the local €194/m² benchmark, and estimated renovation would push the effective cost to about €912/m². The listing does not state the condition or clearly separate the dwelling from the warehouses and land, while the one-room, zero-bath layout is a significant concern.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, roofed mixed-use complex with a basic but apparently usable residential unit, rather than a beautiful Italian home. The surrounding warehouses, pallets, rubbish, and utilitarian setting sharply reduce its dream-home appeal, although the low price per square metre is notable.
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€32,000 – €57,000
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 property is dominated by cluttered warehouses, workshops, and commercial/storage areas.
- The exterior is worn and industrial, with no garden, attractive setting, or notable architectural character.
- The listing facts indicate 0 bedrooms and 0 bathrooms despite photos showing a basic bedroom and bathroom; verify the cadastral and legal status of the residential portion.
- Significant cleanup, maintenance, and possible conversion work may be needed.
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.
