Priced at €245/m², 61% below the regional baseline of €630/m², giving strong pricing headroom. Fresh listing (1 day). Independent historic-center palazzotto, 200m², two apartments, star vaults, terraces, panoramic view, and exclusive solar area—solid features for a renovation-to-resale or dual-unit play. Downside: needs full renovation (~€700/m²), and building_year, energy_class, and sea_km are missing. Even after renovation costs (~€140k), total ~€189k sits well under baseline market value (~€126k... note baseline value is €126k, so margin is tighter than raw m² suggests). Still a good entry price for the size and location, but verify renovation scope and true resale demand in Squinzano's centro storico.
More on the house and the area
Two-level historic palazzotto in Squinzano's centro storico with genuine character features: star vaults (volte a stella) and beautiful original patterned cement-tile floors visible in several rooms are the real draw. At \u20ac49k for 200 sqm (\u20ac245/m2) the price is very low, creating a real bargain effect. However the exterior is a plain, weathered yellow facade on a plain street corner - no stunning curb appeal - and the interiors are gutted/derelict, needing complete renovation (bathrooms, kitchen, plaster all shot). Wow potential is in the bones and price, not turnkey drama. Charming rather than a scroll-stopper.
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, €700/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.
