What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 for 126 sqm, the asking price is only €310/sqm versus a €350/sqm local baseline, but with a realistic renovation budget of about €550/sqm for a large 1940 house needing works, the effective cost rises to roughly €860/sqm. Positives are the revised roof (2016), heating, many photos, and central village location, but the discount to baseline is not enough once renovation is included.
More on the house and the area
This is a solid, real house with usable space, a covered portico, terrace/loggiato, fireplace and some modest vintage character. It looks structurally maintained enough to live in after renovation rather than being a shell, helped by the revised roof and heating. The wow comes more from size and bargain potential than from views or standout beauty.
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, €550/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €44,000
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.
