The description says it is cadastral category D10 (rural instrumental building), which is typically not a legal dwelling as advertised for residential buyers, so this is a veto red flag. It is also described as over 450 sqm on 1,352 sqm of land while the listing say 135 sqm, and at roughly €370/m² plus full restoration (~€1,100/m²) it is not attractive versus the €290/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic farmhouse appeal in the old brick cluster and decent garden/yard space, so the property has a bit of countryside atmosphere. But this is clearly a full renovation project rather than a usable home, with no livable interiors shown and the listing itself stating complete renovation. At €50k for a large complex it has project-value, not dream-home-ready 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€53,000 – €79,000
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.
