What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
Price at €425/m² is essentially at the local median (€421/m²), so it's fairly priced rather than a bargain. Independent villa, 200m² with garden, terrace, cellar, garage — solid features and 25 photos support the listing. Positives: described as 'accuratamente ristrutturata nella parte statica' (structurally renovated) and habitable, 13km from historic center with services nearby. Caveats: only ~120m² is finished living space with ~60m² of rustic/technical/garage areas, and 'restored in the static part' hints cosmetic/finishing work may remain. Missing condition, building year, and energy class data limit confidence. Fresh listing (0 days). Moderate finishing renovation assumed for the rustic portions.
More on the house and the area
A detached village house in Colpalombo, a frazione of Gubbio, 13 km from the historic center. The exterior is a plain white 1960s-70s three-storey building tightly flanked by neighboring houses; no architectural distinction, historic character, or view. Grounds consist of dry lawn, concrete paths, and a modest garden hemmed in by fences and adjacent structures. Interiors are dated and lived-in: terrazzo and cotto floors, old furniture, dropped tile ceilings, a basic 1980s kitchen. The property has been structurally renovated but finishes remain original and tired. At €425/m2 for 200 sqm it is cheap in absolute terms, but the price reflects the modest condition and location rather than any standout feature. No scroll-stopping qualities across any dimension.
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, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€23,000 – €39,000
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.
- Interior dated and in need of cosmetic renovation
- Description notes only structural renovation done, not finishes
- Urban/village setting with adjacent buildings, no notable view
- No energy class or condition detail provided
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.
