What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 160 sqm, the ask is just €250/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €476/sqm in Emilia-Romagna country houses, which is a strong entry price. But the description only clearly states layout and includes a ripostiglio, with no explicit renovated/habitable claim, so I treat it as needing renovation at about €700/sqm, making it a solid but not extraordinary project.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, solid, usable house rather than a ruin, with simple rural surroundings and a decent garden plot leading to water. The condition looks basically habitable but very dated, with old finishes and little visible character. At €40k for 160 sqm it has value, but the dream factor is modest.
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€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- Very dated interiors needing full cosmetic updating
- Exterior and garden feel plain rather than romantic
- Roadside setting with no special privacy or landmark view
- Only one bathroom shown for a large house
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.
