Although tagged Renovated, the text says the house is still 'in corso di ristrutturazione' with works yet to be completed, so I treat it as needs renovation at about €700/m². Effective cost is about €1,030/m² (€70,000 + renovation), versus a low-stock baseline of €472/m²; the very large 212 m² size, central location, extra outbuilding and garden support a still-good score despite the weak price-per-m² advantage disappearing after works.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, very cheap town house with some authentic character in the top-floor beams and the appeal of a full terracielo layout. But the current reality is an unfinished building site: bathrooms, finishes and fittings are incomplete, so it feels more like a solid project than a ready home. The value is strong for 212 sqm, yet the visual wow is modest and livability depends on completing the works.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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.
- Still an active renovation site, not move-in ready
- Bathrooms and services appear unfinished
- Many rooms are raw/plain with limited natural light
- Attic includes non-habitable storage area
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.
The area around
Location score 43/100The area lies on the Po plain beside the Po River, with reclaimed farmland, irrigation channels and embankments as the dominant landscape. Gualtieri is known for its planned Renaissance piazza and for links to Antonio Ligabue. Guastalla is the nearest town of some size and provides the usual services and rail connections, while Reggio Emilia is the main city for higher-level services farther south. This is lowland countryside rather than a hill or mountain setting.
