What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 for 400 sqm, the asking price is just €225/sqm, but with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm the effective cost is ~€925/sqm, well above the local sub-€100k baseline of €403/sqm. The large size, independent house format, 900 sqm lot and usable ancillary spaces add value, and the text says it is habitable, but the renovation burden is substantial.
More on the house and the area
This has real farmhouse presence: a tall historic volume, old shutters and a handsome arched portico, plus a generous yard and large outbuilding for the price. It appears roofed, standing and partly habitable rather than a shell, but the lived-in areas are plain and dated and the whole property needs meaningful renovation. The dream here is potential and scale, not immediate wow-luxury living.
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€79,000 – €140,000
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.

- Exterior is very worn and needs substantial renovation.
- Interiors shown are basic/dated rather than beautiful.
- Rural roadside setting is practical but not scenic.
- Outbuildings look utilitarian and may need work too.
