In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At 152 EUR/m2 vs regional median of 382 EUR/m2, this is priced ~60% below baseline with a solid sample size. 521 m2 farmhouse plus 39 m2 garage and 2,000 m2 land for 79k EUR is compelling. Fresh listing (1 day), 19 photos, and a habitable-type structure needing renovation. Needs full renovation (~550 EUR/m2), and energy_class/sea_km are missing, but marketing puffery aside, the numbers hold up. Large sqm inflates raw value; verify actual usable/renovatable area and structural state before committing.
More on the house and the area
A 1930 farmhouse in complete disrepair: sagging tile roofs, missing sections, crumbling brick and plaster, weed-choked cracked courtyard. All 19 photos show a derelict rural building crammed between ordinary village houses. The only genuine draw is scale—521 sqm plus 2,000 sqm of land and a garage—offering renovation/development potential and a low €152/m². But there is no visual wow: no charming interior, no view, no dramatic setting, just an abandoned rustico awaiting a full rebuild. Appeals to investors, not scroll-stoppers.
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, €550/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€103,000 – €183,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
