What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The house is sold al grezzo, so I treated it as needing substantial completion at about EUR 700/m2; effective cost is roughly EUR 1,175/m2 (475 + 700), far above the local stock baseline of EUR 350/m2. Large size and 27 photos help credibility, but the unfinished condition means this is not a bargain at the asking price.
More on the house and the area
From the outside this is a handsome, substantial country townhouse with a big garden and very low price per square metre. But the real interior condition is raw shell/al grezzo: exposed brick, bare floors and unfinished rooms, so this is a major project rather than a home you could move into. Good potential, limited current wow as a livable house.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €70,000
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 al grezzo: interiors are unfinished and not currently livable.
- Full fit-out needed for floors, bathrooms, kitchen, finishes and likely systems completion.
- AI-staged images may overstate the final look.
- Flat rural setting but no proven standout view or historic setting.
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.
