What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 100 sqm, the ask is €600/sqm; with sparse condition data, I assume light-to-medium works at about €350/sqm, for an effective cost near €950/sqm. The local baseline (€578/sqm) is weak because, so this does not screen as a bargain on data; the serviced location and complete house layout support a mid-range score.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: it has floors, bathroom, windows, roof and some character from the beams and fireplace. The look is modest rather than dreamy, but the structure seems solid and the private courtyard/garage setup adds practicality. At €60k for 100 sqm it has some bargain appeal, though it needs cosmetic refresh and damp remediation to feel truly inviting.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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.
- Interiors are habitable but dated and quite plain.
- Visible damp/peeling plaster at the base of several walls.
- Kitchen looks minimal and may need fitting/updating.
- Courtyard is mostly concrete, with little greenery or view.
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.
