See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €69,000 asking price looks low, but renovating 415 m² at an estimated €1,100/m² implies an effective cost of about €1,266/m², versus roughly €293/m² for comparable Marche properties. The panoramic setting and large garden help, but the listing gives few technical details and describes a major renovation project rather than a usable home.
More on the house and the area
The property has strong dream-home appeal thanks to its old Marche farmhouse character, 1,400 sqm garden, mature trees, and sweeping countryside views toward the sea. However, it is a substantial renovation project rather than a usable home today: the interiors are not shown, there are no listed bathrooms or bedrooms, and the exterior shows serious neglect.
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€164,000 – €243,000
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.
- This is explicitly a farmhouse to renovate, with no bathroom, kitchen, or livable interior shown.
- The roof and outbuildings appear aged, with visible deterioration, overgrowth, and structural work likely required.
- Rural access and utility connections should be verified before purchase.
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.
