What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 for 112 sqm, the asking price is €402/sqm, but the description gives no clear habitability/renovation status, so I assume a needs-renovation level of about €700/sqm, for an effective cost near €1,102/sqm. The local baseline (€531/sqm) is weak, so the score relies more on absolute plausibility than comparison; the private garden and decent photo count help, but this is not obviously a bargain unless condition is better than it sounds.
More on the house and the area
The private garden and simple friulian courtyard setting make this feel like a real home rather than a ruin, and the price is very attractive for the size. Inside, it is structurally complete with wood floors, doors and windows in place, but it is plainly tired and needs a proper refresh, with signs of moisture and worn finishes. This is charming and usable after work, not a wow dream house as-is.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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 dated and empty, with no fitted kitchen shown.
- Visible peeling, cracking and damp staining suggest refurbishment is needed.
- Only one bathroom for a 4-bed, 112 sqm house.
- Exterior courtyard image includes virtual staging, so garden finish may differ in reality.
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.
The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster lies in the Friulian plain at the foot of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, with low vineyard hills immediately around Buttrio and the first higher relief of the Julian Prealps farther north-east. The Torre river runs nearby, and the Natisone valleys are within the broader eastern Udine area but mostly beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. Buttrio is one of the wine centres of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, known for vineyards and estates tied to Friulano, Sauvignon, Merlot and other DOC wines. Udine is the nearest city of size, with a full range of services, rail links, shops and historic centre. Cividale del Friuli, a UNESCO-listed Lombard town, is nearby enough to matter for outings and services, but its status sits outside the immediate landscape and does not define the score here.
