What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 139 sqm, the asking price is about €712/sqm; with a likely renovation budget around €700/sqm for a house to personalize, effective cost is roughly €1,412/sqm. The baseline is too weak to trust (Emilia-Romagna villa median €195/sqm from only 5 comps), and with just 1 photo plus a vague description about "ambienti accessori," this looks plausible but not a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
There is no usable photo evidence here, so this cannot sell a dream on looks or atmosphere. The text suggests a solid detached villa with habitable space, but more as a practical house to update than a beautiful standout home. At this price and size it may be decent value, yet the wow factor is very 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.
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€27,000 – €49,000
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.
- Only one unavailable photo, so no beauty or setting can be verified
- Description suggests a solid house to personalize rather than a finished character home
- No view, outdoor charm, or historic details are proven
- Livability and actual interior condition are unclear from the listing evidence
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.
