What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is an unfinished building in category F/3 ('in costruzione', 'stato non terminato'), so it is not currently habitable and carries major completion risk. At €83,250 plus roughly €1,100/m² to finish, the effective cost is far above the €335/m² local baseline, making this a poor buy unless fully verified and repriced.
More on the house and the area
The hillside plot with open greenery gives it some appeal, and the size-for-price is strong. But this is an unfinished modern house, not a character home: the interiors are plain, incomplete and not yet truly ready to live in. It feels more like a practical project than an Italian dream-home scroll stopper.
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€66,000 – €98,000
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.
- unfinished construction (cat. F/3), not immediately habitable
- kitchen and bathrooms are incomplete/missing fittings
- interiors look basic and somewhat dark, with finishing still needed
- suburban edge-of-village setting rather than a picturesque historic location
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.
