Why this price is what it is

At €45,000 (€402/m²), the house needs renovation; adding an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,102/m² versus a €383/m² local benchmark. Its proximity to Ovindoli and the Monte Magnola ski lifts adds appeal, but the renovation burden is substantial and the listing does not state the construction year or exact condition.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a solid, substantial village house with appealing period details, including patterned tile floors, wood paneling, balconies, shutters, and a fireplace. It appears roofed and usable rather than a ruin, but the interiors are dated and the property is clearly a renovation project; the street-facing setting limits the dream-home appeal.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€39,000 – €56,000

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.

Full€1,200–1,500/m²
€134,000 – €168,000

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €39,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Substantial renovation and modernization are likely needed.
  • Only one bathroom is listed for a 112 sqm, three-bedroom home.
  • The property fronts directly onto a fairly busy road, with no visible private garden.
  • Kitchen and utility condition should be checked carefully before purchase.

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.
