What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 174 sqm, the ask is about €230/sqm; assuming a basically habitable house from the description, I used ~€200/sqm renovation, for an effective ~€430/sqm. That sits slightly below the local baseline of €467/sqm, and the independent house with exclusive outdoor area near the town center supports a strong but not extreme deal.
More on the house and the area
There is some real rustic charm here: a big village house with brick courtyard walls, arched passage, old shutters and a handsome historic agricultural outbuilding. But it does not read as move-in ready: interiors are sparse and tired, and the ancillary structure looks more like storage/barn space than usable living area. At €40k for 174 sqm it has bargain appeal, yet this feels more like a solid renovation project than an immediately dreamable home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
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.
- Needs substantial renovation and updating throughout
- No kitchen or bathroom shown in the photos
- Courtyard/outbuildings look rough and partially semi-open utility spaces
- No meaningful view; setting is practical village center rather than scenic
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.
