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
At €48,000 for 118 sqm, the ask is €407/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €607/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €472/sqm. The large size, 24 photos and mountain/panoramic setting support the listing, but on numbers alone it is only a moderate deal rather than a standout discount.
More on the house and the area
The stone exterior is very attractive and the mountain outlook adds real lifestyle appeal, with some exposed stone inside giving a touch of character. This is a genuine habitable home with kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and heating already in place, not a shell. The limitation is that the interiors are quite old-fashioned and would benefit from refreshing rather than major structural work.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are dated and need cosmetic updating.
- Some rooms feel dark/low-level despite being usable.
- Mountain setting may mean a quieter, less convenient location.
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.
