What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 for 76 sqm, the ask is €658/sqm; with limited condition data and a generic description, I assume moderate works at about €350/sqm, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,008/sqm. The local baseline (€460/sqm) is weak because it is based on only 7 comps, so this looks more ordinary-to-expensive than a standout deal despite the panoramic setting and bus access.
More on the house and the area
The setting seems bright and panoramic, and the price is attractive for a detached country house with outdoor space. But this is not a dreamy move-in home: it looks worn, heavily dated, and several rooms show cracking and deferred maintenance. It feels like a basically usable house with bathroom and kitchen, yet one that needs real work before it becomes charming.
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, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €15,000
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.
- Exterior and roof look tired and need maintenance.
- Visible interior cracks suggest structural assessment is needed.
- Interiors are dated and need significant cosmetic updating.
- Part of the outdoor area/courtyard appears shared, reducing privacy.
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.
