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 at 345 EUR/m2 vs regional median 264 (strong baseline), so ~30% above median but that's typical for a 200sqm semi-detached property with exclusive garden, garage, cellar, warehouse and a second accessory building. Total price of 69k for 200sqm plus outbuildings and land is attractive. Fresh listing (5 days). Downsides: needs full renovation (1967 build, external staircase, one bath, no energy class), so budget ~600 EUR/m2 for habitable rehab. No traps: it's habitable-in-principle residential, not a ruin, not agricultural-only, not auction. Solid value given the extra structures and land, hence 'good' rather than 'diamond'.
More on the house and the area
Semi-detached 1967 farmhouse in a quiet Piemonte hamlet with mountain backdrop visible in some shots. The exclusive fenced garden and mature trees (fig, spruce, olive) are the main appeal, plus a large brick outbuilding/shed with rustic character. Interiors are dated and tired—worn terracotta tile, damp-stained plaster, cluttered rooms, and floral 70s bathroom tiling. Exterior facades are weathered and rustic but not striking. The distant hillside view adds mild interest. Overall a solid renovation project at a low €345/m² but nothing visually arresting.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €70,000
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.
