What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At 293 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 422 EUR/m2, this is priced ~30% below market for a 270sqm detached villa. Freestanding on all four sides, two floors, 6 bedrooms, large plot (800sqm), cellar, magazzino, autonomous heating. Fresh listing (3 days), 38 photos suggest genuine sale. Needs renovation (1960 build, single bath for 6 beds), so budget ~500 EUR/m2 for updating. Cadastrally registered as two distinct units plus two magazzini, which adds flexibility but may need merging paperwork. Missing energy class and sea distance. Strong m2 upside even after renovation.
More on the house and the area
Large detached 270sqm house near Gradizza/Formignana in flat rural Emilia Romagna, priced at just €79k (€293/m2) which is the main draw. Exterior is a plain yellow 1960s freestanding building with outbuildings and 800sqm plot. Interiors are heavily dated but livable: patterned floor tiles, wood-paneled living rooms, vintage sunflower-tiled kitchen, single blue-tiled bathroom. Condition is tired and needs renovation. No standout views, architecture, or setting. Low price for the size gives modest bargain appeal but nothing visually striking.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €53,000
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.
