See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €6,500 asking price is extremely low, but the two-level farmhouse is described as being in poor condition and needing restoration; with estimated works of about €1,100/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,208/m² versus a local reference of €351/m². The listing does not say whether it has a bathroom or confirm current residential habitability.
More on the house and the area
This €6,500 farmhouse has modest historic character, including old tiled roofing, exposed masonry and traditional rural proportions. However, the interior is an uninhabitable renovation shell with bare floors, deteriorated ceilings and no bathroom, so it is a project rather than a realistic home today.
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€24,000 – €35,000
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.
- Major renovation required, with visibly deteriorated plaster, floors and ceilings.
- No bathroom or kitchen is shown or listed; utilities and structural condition are unclear.
- The property fronts a road and no compelling view or private outdoor setting is demonstrated.
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.
