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
At €65,000 for 100 m², the ask is €650/m²; with a medium renovation estimate of about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €1,350/m² versus a low-stock baseline of €583/m² in Lazio villas. Good features (independent house, garden, garage/terrace, 34 photos, regular cadastral status) help, but the required works make it only a fair deal rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: it has a functioning kitchen, finished rooms, a bathroom, and a decent private courtyard with garden space. The setting feels green and pleasant, with a wood-fired oven adding some lifestyle charm, but the house is visually quite plain and noticeably dated. It offers honest liveability and good value, more practical than dreamily beautiful.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
