What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 for 71 sqm, the asking price is €408/sqm; with a mostly habitable estimate of about €200/sqm renovation, the effective cost is roughly €608/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €310/sqm in Molise farmhouses. The text supports basic habitability (gas heating, ceramic floors, renovated facade in 2024), so this looks usable but not a deep discount.
More on the house and the area
The big open hill view is the clear selling point here, and the stone facade gives it some rustic Italian charm. Inside it looks structurally sound and genuinely usable now, with kitchen, bathroom, heating and finished floors, but it is very simple rather than beautiful. This feels like a cheap livable base with scenery, not a full 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€5,000 – €8,000
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 very basic and plain, with little character.
- Tiny outdoor land parcel only, despite the farmhouse label.
- Direct roadside position may reduce the rural dream feel.
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.
