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 €40,000 for 140 sqm, the asking price is about €286/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of ~€200/sqm, the effective cost is about €486/sqm versus a €290/sqm baseline. The score stays decent because the house is large, detached on 3 sides, has heating, garage/garden and 27 photos, but it is not a deep discount once likely refresh costs are included.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a project: roofed, furnished, heated, and clearly habitable, with generous space for the price. The beauty is modest rather than romantic, but the long garden reaching the small canal adds some rural charm and outdoor potential. Overall it feels more like a solid bargain farmhouse to refresh than an instant dream-home scroll stopper.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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 look very dated and need cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a fairly large house.
- Front yard is dry and not currently very inviting.
- Setting is rural but right on a road, so privacy is limited at the front.
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.
