What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€682/m²), this 132 m² house needs updating, estimated at about €700/m², bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,382/m² versus a local reference of €331/m². The private garden, olive trees, terrace and location 2 km from the sea add appeal, but do not offset the substantial price gap.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, solid-looking two-story country house with a private garden, mature trees, olive trees and fruit plants. It appears to be a real usable home rather than a ruin, but the plain exterior and stated need for updating keep it in the charming rather than dream-home range.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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 not shown, so the actual finish and condition are uncertain.
- The description says the house needs updating; expect renovation and cosmetic work.
- The garden appears somewhat overgrown and the exterior is plain rather than especially scenic.
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.
