At €79,900, the estimated effective cost is about €563/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable property, more than double the local €265/m² benchmark. Two apartments, a garden, heating and outdoor spaces add value, but the price is not compelling; the listing does not say the building year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A large, genuinely habitable farmhouse with two apartments, a broad balcony, terrace, garden, and a pleasant hillside outlook. The kitchen, bathrooms, heating, tiled floors, and finished rooms make it a real move-in home, though the interiors are heavily cluttered and old-fashioned rather than beautifully presented. At €79,900 for 220 m², the space and outdoor setting create a strong bargain impression.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Interiors are very cluttered and dated, so substantial clearing and cosmetic updating would be needed.
- The exterior garden and parking areas are functional but untidy rather than landscaped.
- The two-apartment layout and condition of the roof, systems, and legal status should be verified.
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.
