What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 487 sqm the asking price is only €195/sqm, but the description says the house is 'da rimodernare' and a large share of the area includes 114 sqm + 213 sqm of warehouses/deposits, so the headline €/sqm is flattering. Using a renovation allowance of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €895/sqm versus a €406/sqm baseline, making it only a fair deal unless the accessory spaces are especially valuable to you.
More on the house and the area
This is more about scale and farmhouse atmosphere than pure beauty: a large brick rural complex with a broad private yard and serious outbuilding space. The main house looks basically livable now, with floors, stairs, bathroom and heating, but it is very dated and parts need proper updating. The barns add character and potential, yet they are not ready-to-live spaces.
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€96,000 – €171,000
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.
- Main house is habitable but clearly dated and needs modernization.
- Some rooms/utility areas show rough unfinished or sooty surfaces.
- The huge outbuildings are usable volumes, but they are rustic storage/barn spaces rather than finished living area.
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.
