What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 165 sqm, the ask is €539/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of about €200/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €739/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €432/sqm in Lombardia villas. The large detached house, 700 sqm fenced garden, garage, heating, 23 photos and coherent description support a solid but not standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable detached home with mountain greenery all around, open balconies, and a genuinely panoramic setting. The house looks solid and fully habitable with kitchen, bathrooms, heating, and decent space, but the style is ordinary 1990s rather than especially beautiful or historic. The wow comes more from the setting, size, and value than from architectural charm.
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€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Interiors are plain 1990s rather than characterful
- Exterior has some utilitarian/dated elements
- Garden is sloped and a bit rough rather than landscaped
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.
