What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €12,500 for 100 sqm, the asking price is just €125/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €383/sqm, but the description calls it a rustic farmhouse on 2 floors with only 2 photos and no stated condition, so I assume a full restoration at about €1,100/sqm. Even with that heavy renovation load, the entry price is very low and the panoramic, quiet setting with garden adds appeal.
More on the house and the area
The stone farmhouse has genuine rustic character and the listing mentions a panoramic, quiet position, which gives it dream value from the outside. But what is shown is basically garages/open storage rather than a usable home, with no finished interiors or services visible. At this price it is intriguing, yet it reads as a renovation project more than a place you could soon live in.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Rustico with no visible finished living spaces
- No bathroom or kitchen shown
- Likely full renovation project despite roofed structure
- Only exterior photos, so livability is unproven
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.
