Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €58,000 asking price is attractive at €258/m², but the listing does not state the condition, energy performance, or renovation scope. Assuming substantial work for this older courtyard house, the effective cost is roughly €958/m², well above the €417/m² level typical of comparable low-priced homes in Lombardia.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious country home with three bedrooms, traditional tiled roofs, terrazzo floors, old wood furnishings, and a large garden. The main living areas look habitable, but the property is visually plain and the attached barns and utility spaces are notably worn and partly rough, making it more of a practical rural project than a dream-style Italian retreat.
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€45,000 – €79,000
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 main house appears usable but dated and in need of cosmetic modernization.
- Several outbuildings and the rear structures show significant deterioration, damp staining, clutter, and possible renovation needs.
- The 1,500 sqm garden is overgrown and will require substantial clearing and maintenance.
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.
