See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €43,000 (€443/m²), the house needs modernization and has no heating; allowing about €700/m² for works brings the effective cost to roughly €1,144/m² versus a local benchmark of €317/m². The recently renewed roof and 33 photos are positives, but the rural location and substantial upgrade needs make this weak value.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable country house rather than a ruin, with a recently renewed roof, furnished kitchens and bathrooms, two bedrooms, exposed timber ceilings and around 400 sqm of outdoor space. The interiors are homely but dated, while the plain exterior and lack of heating keep it below the dream-home tier; it is best seen as a charming, affordable retreat needing practical upgrades.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- No heating system, so winter livability will require installation.
- The property needs modernization and reconfiguration if the two units are to become one home.
- Rural location and energy class G may mean higher running and access costs.
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.
