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 €95,000 for 329 sqm, the asking price is about €289/sqm; with a habitable-condition allowance of ~€200/sqm, the effective cost is ~€489/sqm versus a local baseline of €377/sqm. The huge size, central village location, garage/cellar/terrace and flexible layout support value, but on a pure effective €/sqm basis it is only a moderate rather than standout deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a big, genuinely usable house with lots of practical space, a huge terrace, garden and substantial garage/workshop buildings. The condition looks basically habitable rather than derelict, but the style is very plain and dated, so the dream factor is more about space and value than beauty. At this price, the sheer size and flexibility help, but it is not a visually special Italian home.
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€22,000 – €37,000
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.
- 1970s suburban setting with no scenic view or strong architectural charm
- Interiors are dated and need significant cosmetic updating
- Large paved outdoor areas and outbuildings feel practical more than beautiful
- Some rooms show wear/peeling ceilings and an old bathroom fit-out
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.
