What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€375/m²), the house is priced near the local baseline, but its stated renovation need adds roughly €84,000, bringing the effective cost to about €1,075/m². The 120 m² dwelling has ample space, a private courtyard and garage, but its agricultural setting is 31 km from the sea and the listing does not state its construction year.
More on the house and the area
A substantial traditional country house with a tiled roof, shutters, private garden and useful outbuildings, offered at an unusually low price for 120 sqm. The house appears occupied and broadly usable, with a functioning kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms, but it is dated, cluttered and needs meaningful cosmetic renovation rather than being a polished dream home.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation, with visibly peeling exterior finishes and dated interiors.
- The house is heavily cluttered and the photos do not clearly establish the condition of all systems or utilities.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a five-bedroom layout.
- The setting is agricultural and the property appears close to a road, with no notable scenic view.
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.
The area around
Location score 58/100This is the lower Po plain, with flat reclaimed farmland cut by canals and drainage works. The Po di Volano runs through the area, and the wetlands and lagoons of the Parco del Delta del Po lie within about 15 km to the east. Ferrara is the nearest city of size, with a large historic centre and UNESCO status linked to the Este city and the Po Delta. The area is known for irrigated agriculture and land reclamation.
