What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €74,000 for 240 sqm the ask is €308/sqm, but in 'needs renovation' condition the effective cost is about €1,008/sqm including ~€700/sqm works, far above the local baseline of €381/sqm. The big size helps, but much of the area is described as storage/attic/ripostiglio rather than clearly habitable living space, which weakens the apparent bargain.
More on the house and the area
There is genuine charm here: an ivy-clad old house with a leafy private courtyard, rustic outbuildings and a lot of space for the money. The main house is roofed, floored and still reads as a real home, but interiors are tired and sparse, with a very dated bathroom and significant renovation needed to make it comfortably livable. It feels promising rather than dreamy-right-now.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Needs full interior updating and likely systems work.
- Bathroom is very basic/dated and the house is not move-in ready.
- Large ancillary barn/storage spaces have rough or damaged floors.
- No meaningful view; appeal is mainly the private courtyard and character.
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 40/100This is the lower Friulian plain between the Tagliamento and Stella river systems, with flat agricultural land, canals, drainage ditches and scattered villages. The nearest larger town is Latisana, which provides rail access, supermarkets and routine services; Udine is the main city for higher-level services. The Adriatic coast around Lignano Sabbiadoro is outside the immediate landscape and does not change the character of the area. The area is known for intensive farming and vineyard country across the Friuli plain.
