What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €54,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €675/sqm; the text says it was abandoned and neglected, so I estimate about €900/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,575/sqm. That is far above the very low Lombardia townhouse baseline of €409/sqm, so despite the independent house, garden, garage and village-center setting, this looks weak on price.
More on the house and the area
This has real charm: a small Liberty-style house with a pleasing period facade, patterned floors and an old fireplace, plus a fenced garden. It is a proper house rather than a shell, with usable rooms, stairs and bathroom, but it has been neglected and needs a solid restoration/refresh before it feels dream-home ready. At €54k, the character helps the bargain appeal.
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, €900/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.
- Neglected/abandoned presentation; needs clear refresh and cleanup
- Exterior plaster and some interior walls show wear/cracking
- Bathroom and interiors look dated rather than move-in ready
- No kitchen shown in the photos
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.
