See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€333/m²), the 180 m² house is priced near the local €335/m² benchmark, but its original condition, lack of heating and substantial renovation needs could add about €198,000. That puts the effective cost near €1,433/m², making it weak value despite the garden, terrace and parking.
More on the house and the area
A substantial country house with a private fenced garden, large terraces, parking, and attractive views over the Piedmont countryside. The interiors are fully furnished and usable, but distinctly dated, and the lack of heating means this is a renovation and modernization project rather than a ready-made dream home.
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€71,000 – €105,000
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 house is in original condition and would benefit from updating.
- There is currently no heating system.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 180 sqm, two-level home; verify utilities and winter insulation.
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.
