What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Farmhouse (cascina) at 430 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 382 EUR/m2, so slightly above local median but low absolute price (49k for 114sqm). Fully independent, no condo fees, cellar and high ceilings add appeal. Condition 'needs renovation' means significant work (~1000 EUR/m2 for full gut of an old farmhouse), so budget ~114k reno on top. No building year or energy class disclosed. Fresh listing (5 days). Solid opportunity for a personalization project but total cost after reno lands near market, keeping it fair rather than a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
Derelict Lombard cascina in Sergnano, fully needing renovation at €49k (€430/m²). Photos show heavily deteriorated exterior with temporary steel support props indicating structural issues, and bare gray concrete/plaster interiors with no finishes or bathrooms. The traditional farmhouse form and exposed timber roof offer mild historic character, but nothing visually striking. Low price is modest rather than a standout bargain given the extensive work required. No view, unusual location, or notable natural setting. Essentially a blank-slate project property with limited emotional pull.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€22,000 – €40,000
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.
