What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 for 194 m², the asking price is just €335/m² versus a low-stock baseline of €350/m², but the property is described as a rustico/completely customizable, so I estimate a full restoration at about €1,100/m². That brings the effective cost to roughly €1,435/m²; the central courtyard location helps a bit, but with only 3 photos and unclear habitability it looks like a decent project rather than an exceptional bargain.
More on the house and the area
There is some old-courtyard charm here, with wrought-iron balconies, period details and a leafy private courtyard feel. But the listing explicitly says it is in rustico condition, and the photos show a tired shell rather than a ready home. At this price and size it has bargain-project appeal, not dream-home wow.
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€77,000 – €113,000
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.
- Sold as a rustico and fully to be customized
- Exterior shows worn plaster and likely substantial renovation needs
- Only one bath listed and no photos proving finished habitable interiors
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.
