What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 for 250 sqm, the ask is just €200/sqm, but with likely modernization costs around €450/sqm for a house last fully renovated in the 1980s, the effective cost is about €650/sqm versus a €367/sqm local baseline. Large size, terrace and historic-center setting help, but on numbers alone it is not a clear bargain after renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, real, usable townhouse rather than a ruin: it has kitchens, bathrooms, heating, finished floors and a roof terrace, so it is clearly livable from day one. The charm comes more from the old village setting and cellar/cantina character than from standout beauty, because the interiors are plain 1980s and the terrace does not show a strong view. At €50k for 250 sqm, the value is striking, but the wow is modest rather than dreamy.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€29,000 – €49,000
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.
