What it really costs

See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €938/sqm, but as a 'grezzo avanzato' property to be finished the effective cost is about €1,638/sqm including ~€700/sqm renovation, far above the very low local baseline of €472/sqm. The listing has been on the market 275 days and the text is contradictory ('ristrutturato nel 2025' yet still to be completed), which weakens confidence.
More on the house and the area
There is some genuine charm here: terracotta floors, exposed beams and bright sunlit rooms give it a warm old-house feel. But this is not move-in ready — it is an advanced shell to finish, with at least one bathroom still raw and no fitted kitchen visible. At €75k it could become a pleasant home, yet the current wow is limited by the unfinished, project-stage condition.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.

- Advanced unfinished state: kitchen and bathrooms are not installed.
- Some rooms are still raw/part-plastered, so completion costs are significant.
- Views are modest and the setting looks ordinary rather than scenic.
- Check exactly what was renovated in 2025 and whether systems/utilities are fully connected and certified.
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 57/100This area lies in the first hills south of the Po plain, with the northern Apennine foothills beginning within a few kilometres. The Secchia valley is nearby to the east, and the lower slopes and wooded ridges of the Reggiano Apennines are the main landscape element within reach. Reggio Emilia is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail connections and a historic centre. The area is known for mixed farming and vineyards, including the Lambrusco zone, and for the food culture of the Reggio-Modena plain and foothills.
