What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking price is €65,000 for 120 m² (€542/m²), but the house lacks a heating system, so I estimate about €300/m² to make it comfortably livable; effective cost is about €842/m². That is roughly 104% above this stock baseline of €412/m² in Emilia Romagna, so despite being habitable and having terraces/garage, it looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
The big selling point is the panoramic hill-and-valley view from the terrace and forecourt, which gives it real live-in dream appeal. The house itself looks solid, roofed and genuinely habitable, with usable floors, stairs and rooms, but it is simple and would benefit from cosmetic refreshing rather than being a ready-made beauty inside.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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 shown is very plain and partly used as storage.
- Exterior finishes look basic and a bit tired rather than charming.
- Only limited interior photos, so the full standard of bedrooms/bathroom is unclear.
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.
