See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is a 130 sqm rustico with surrounding land, only 2 photos, no beds/baths, and no evidence it is currently habitable; I treat it as a full restoration at about €1,100/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,369/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €272/sqm. It has also been on market for 762 days, which is a strong negative signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a roofed concrete-frame rustico in a green woodland setting, but it has no real architectural charm or view. It is not a usable home yet: just the structural shell with stairs and roof, needing a full build-out before anyone could live there. The low price helps, but the dream factor is limited.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€51,000 – €76,000
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.
- Bare structural shell with no finished interiors
- No bathroom or kitchen visible
- Overgrown plot suggests significant clearance/work
- Livability likely depends on full fit-out and utilities
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.
