At €59,000, the estimated all-in cost is about €77,000, or €856/m² after allowing €200/m² for a habitable home. That is roughly three times the €279/m² local benchmark; the garage, heating and terrace add appeal, but not enough to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A colorful four-sided house with a genuine open farmland view, a productive garden, and pleasant traditional touches such as shutters, wood ceilings, and a freestanding stove. It appears to be a real, habitable home with heating, garage, terrace, kitchen, and bathroom, but the interiors are crowded and dated rather than dream-home ready.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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 fully usable but very dated and heavily cluttered, requiring cosmetic modernization.
- The garden and exterior storage areas look functional rather than polished and will need tidying.
- Only one bathroom is shown; utilities and exact rural access 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.
