The key issue is legal/habitability risk: it is currently used as an office and the description says conversion to residential use is only being verified, so it is not a safe dwelling purchase today. On top of that, a full refurbishment is needed (about €1,100/m², roughly €82.5k total), pushing effective cost to about €1,833/m² versus a €472/m² local baseline.
More on the house and the area
The yellow detached house has some charm, especially the timber-roofed upper room, mature trees, and the private garden opening onto a park. But this is not a ready home: interiors are sparse and unfinished-feeling, the roof needs work, and livability depends on a full renovation plus confirmation of residential use. At €55k it has project appeal, not dream-home wow.
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€30,000 – €44,000
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.
