Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €60,000 asking price is attractive at €333/m², but the home's stated need for personalization implies roughly €700/m² in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,033/m² versus a local comparison level of €403/m². Its generous size, triple garage, terrace and 27 photos support the listing, but the total investment is weak for the area.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, genuinely usable multi-level house with six bedrooms, two bathrooms, tiled floors, heating, and a substantial amount of space for the price. It lacks standout views or especially beautiful character, and the worn finishes and damaged plaster mean it needs a meaningful refresh rather than being move-in ready.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
- Interior is dated and shows significant peeling plaster, damp staining, and general wear.
- The kitchen/workshop area appears particularly tired and may need substantial updating.
- No compelling landscape or town views are shown in the gallery; energy class is G.
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.
