What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 350 sqm, the ask is €243/sqm, below the Lombardia farmhouse baseline of €387/sqm, but the description says 'da ristrutturare completamente' and the usable house size appears to be about 290 sqm (145 sqm x 2), implying a heavy full-restoration budget around €1,100/sqm. With renovation included, the effective cost is far above baseline, though the approved project and central location add some value.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic appeal in the old brick farmhouse shell and the decent-sized rear garden, with a bit of Lombard cascina character. But the photos show a stripped, open structure rather than a usable home, so this is mainly a redevelopment project, not a place you could realistically move into soon.
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€139,000 – €205,000
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.
- Complete renovation project, not currently livable
- No bathroom shown and interiors appear raw/open
- Village setting with no view or standout location
- Check approved project and planning details carefully
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.
