What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 for 131 sqm, the asking price is just €420/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €406/sqm, but the stated need for internal modernization lifts effective cost to about €920/sqm including ~€500/sqm renovation. The roof has already been redone and this includes two residential units with courtyard, cellar and garage potential, which supports a still-solid but not exceptional score.
More on the house and the area
This is a very usable low-cost property package rather than a dream-house listing. The homes look structurally intact and basically livable, with kitchens, bathrooms and a redone roof, but the interiors are dated and visually ordinary. At €55k for two units and 131 sqm it has value, yet the wow factor is limited.
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, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €26,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Interiors need clear internal modernization.
- No views, historic features or standout setting shown.
- Exterior is very plain and the courtyard/outside space looks hardscaped rather than charming.
- Photos suggest two simple, dated units rather than one polished home.
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.
