See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €25,000 for 100 sqm, the asking price is €250/sqm, but with a typical renovation budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €950/sqm, above the Lazio villa baseline of €583/sqm. The description is for a 'porzione di casolare' with cantine, extra land, and an inaccessible rudere included, so it is not full standalone ownership and the extra lots do not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic appeal here: a large old farmhouse façade, stone cellars, a fireplace and a green rural setting with land. But the house shown is very tired rather than romantic-ready, with neglected interiors and likely major updating needed to make it a genuinely usable home. At €25k with multiple plots it has bargain/project appeal more than immediate dream-home wow.
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.
