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 €35,000 (€302/m²), the rustic condition implies roughly €127,600 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to about €1,402/m² versus €375/m² for comparable local homes. The very brief description does not clarify habitability, utilities, or the extent of required works.
More on the house and the area
A handsome old exposed-brick house with authentic rural character, a garage, and a generous green garden. The interior is fully furnished and appears usable rather than an empty shell, but it is distinctly dated and would benefit from renovation; the €35,000 price makes the project unusually compelling.
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€46,000 – €68,000
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 dated and likely need substantial cosmetic updating.
- The listing is described as a rustico, so utilities, systems, and legal/compliance status should be verified.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 116 m² house.
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.
The area around
Location score 52/100This is flat lower Friuli between the Tagliamento basin and the lagoon plain. The Stella river rises nearby at the Risorgive di Flambro, a belt of spring-fed waterways and wetland landscape within this part of the plain. The Marano and Grado Lagoon lies to the south, with the Adriatic coast reached from Lignano Sabbiadoro in roughly half an hour. Latisana is the nearest larger town with rail services and everyday commercial services, and Udine is the main city for higher-order services. The area is known for reclaimed farmland, vineyards and the spring-water channels of the bassa friulana.
