See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €56,000 plus an estimated €1,100/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,689/m²—far above the €376/m² local comparison level. The house needs substantial work, and the listing does not say its energy class, construction year, or precise legal/technical condition.
More on the house and the area
A genuine rural Emilia-Romagna house with attractive exposed beams, traditional terracotta floors, shutters, and a small garden, plus open countryside glimpses. It is a real roofed and furnished home rather than a ruin, but the dated bathroom, worn finishes, and stated need for renovation keep it below the dream-home tier.
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€38,000 – €56,000
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 needs a meaningful renovation and cosmetic modernization.
- The bathroom and finishes are dated, with only one bathroom shown.
- The small garden is road-fronted, while the additional portico and land are across the road.
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.
