At €75,000 for 260 m² (€288/m²), the asking price looks low, but the sparse description does not state the condition or bathrooms. Assuming substantial renovation at about €700/m² brings the effective cost near €988/m², well above the €417/m² local benchmark.
More on the house and the area
A generous old Lombard farmhouse with traditional shutters, a long balcony, intact tiled roofs, a private garden and attractive rural greenery around it. The 260 sqm footprint and €75,000 price are compelling, but the empty, dated interiors and absence of a listed bathroom make this a renovation project rather than a move-in home.
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€51,000 – €91,000
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.
- The interiors are vacant and visibly dated, with damp/staining and a likely substantial renovation needed.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, so essential services and habitability need verification.
- The farm outbuildings appear significantly more worn than the main 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.
