At €55,000 (€491/m²), this 112 m² farmhouse is currently uninhabitable and must be demolished and rebuilt, bringing estimated total costs to about €212,000 or €1,891/m². That is vastly above the local €298/m² reference, and the listing’s renders are only illustrative rather than evidence of a finished home.
More on the house and the area
The old brick-and-plaster farmhouse has some historic character and a potentially appealing traditional footprint. However, it is an uninhabitable ruin requiring demolition and complete reconstruction, so it is a building project rather than a usable cheap Italian home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,400/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €66,000
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 is explicitly uninhabitable and must be demolished and rebuilt.
- The attractive interior images are virtual renders, not existing rooms.
- Major costs and approvals will be required for reconstruction; no finished home is currently available.
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.
