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 250 sqm, the asking price is just €380/sqm versus a €469/sqm local baseline; with light habitable-refresh costs estimated around €250/sqm, the effective cost is about €630/sqm, so the discount disappears. Still, two independent habitable units, 24 photos, garage/garden features, and flexibility for extended family or rental make it a solid but not exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, genuinely usable two-home property with lots of space, a garden, balconies and open views over the countryside. The house looks solid and fully habitable now, with kitchen, bathrooms, heating and finished rooms already in place. The wow comes more from the amount of livable space for the price and the open rural outlook than from architectural beauty.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €35,000
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.
- 1970s house with plain exterior and little historic character
- Interiors are habitable but dated in parts, especially bathrooms/finishes
- Rural edge setting appears practical rather than picturesque
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.
