At €85,000 for 290 sqm, the ask is just €293/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €387/sqm, and it includes about 850 sqm total plot in the town center. But the text says 'da ristrutturare completamente' with an approved project to build 2 apartments, so I treat it as a full restoration at about €1,100/sqm, which makes it a good project rather than a bargain turnkey home.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic Lombard farmhouse character in the brick-and-plaster structure, and the deep rear garden adds usable potential. But this is clearly a full renovation shell rather than a home you could move into, with no finished interiors or bathrooms shown. The low price per m² is appealing, yet the current wow is more project-based than dream-home based.
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€115,000 – €170,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
