The €84,000 price looks low at €221/m², but a complete renovation adds roughly €418,000, producing an estimated effective cost of €1,321/m² versus €202/m² for comparable local stock. This is a vacant commercial building rather than a ready dwelling, and the listing does not establish residential conversion permissions or costs.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, intact former commercial/hospitality building in a central location, with lots of floor area and potential for apartments or mixed use. However, it has little visual charm or setting appeal, and the worn interiors plus full renovation requirement make it a redevelopment project rather than a beautiful, livable Italian home.
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€150,000 – €222,000
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.
- Commercial building rather than a ready home; residential conversion would need verification.
- Requires a complete renovation, with dated interiors, peeling finishes, and no fitted kitchen or clearly usable bathrooms shown.
- Large 380 m² property may involve substantial renovation, utility, and maintenance 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.
